7.2 RS-232 CONTROL
The MX2456RM Switcher offers remote control
capabilities through RS-232; the primary
communication standard used by control systems
and computers.
In fact, the MX2456RM offers more features using
RS-232 than are currently available from the front
panel of the unit.
The MX2456RM offers a terminal block using
solder-free, screw-down contacts, making it
extremely easy to connect the switcher to a control
system or a computer in the field.

(not needed for RS-232 connection)
2 GND (Ground)
3 RCV (Receive)
4 XMT (Transmit)
The terminal block is labeled with the appropriate
contact designations: Transmit (XMT), Receive
(RCV), and Ground (GND). Always remember that
the Transmit pin from the control system or
computer must be connected to the Receive pin on
the switcher control port; do not connect Transmit to
Transmit or Receive to Receive.
NOTE: The contact labeled +5V is not used for
RS-232 connections. This contact is used to provide
DC voltage to other equipment installed within close
proximity of the MX2456RM.
