Configuration port — This 2.5 mm mini stereo jack serves the same serial
communications function as the rear panel Remote port, but it is easier
to access than the rear port after the matrix switcher has been installed
and cabled. The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable,
part #70-335-01 (figure 2-7), can be used for this connection.

This port is independent of the rear panel Remote port and is not affected by
changes to the rear panel port’s protocol. This front panel port’s protocol can be
changed under SIS command control only. See the Command/Response table for
IP-specific SIS commands, in chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, to configure all
ports under SIS control.
