Setting-up a Serial Passthrough Group
Decide which VN-MATRIX unit is to be the server in the passthrough group and which will be the
client(s), and connect your serial devices to the VN-MATRIX COM2 ports accordingly.
Remember, communication can only take place between server and client(s), not between clients.
Login to the Web Interface (see page 41).
From the Device List page click on the device you want to configure as the server.
From the Device page click the Serial tab to display the following:
Using the mode listbox select the server option.
Change the other settings (e.g. baud rate) as required, then click the Save tab.
Then, for each
client in the group…
Return to the Device List page (by clicking on the Device List tab).
Click on the device you want to configure as a client, then click the Serial tab.
Using the mode listbox select the client option (note that this will reveal the destination box).
Using the destination listbox select passthrough for the appropriate server.
Change the other settings (e.g. baud rate) as required, then click the Save tab.
