Specifications
RS232 SERIAL FEATURES
The module can be configured as either a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) or Data Communications
Equipment (DCE) and the Baud Rate is software programmable from 110 to 19,200 Baud, stored in non-
volatile memory.
This module has the same command structure as the IEEE488 Talk/Listen and has these additional
features:
E - Echo - Echos all received characters back to the source.
A - Answerback - Enables the transmission back to the computer of a single character followed by an
EOL upon completion of a Command string.
V - Verbose - Enables the matrix to return text strings in response to Commands, including error
statements.
H - Help - This is a summary of all the Commands and is only accessible in the Verbose mode.
P - Program - Gives test prompts in setting up the Matrix variables.

LAN/RS232 INTERFACE
This unit interfaced between a 10Base-T Local Area Network and the RS232 Control Module giving
control of the Switching System from any LAN user at baud rates up to 115.2K. Data Transfer is by TCP/
IP and the interface is fully configurable via the RS232 port or from the LAN to a preset IP address.
The input connector is RJ45 and the output connector mates withe the RS232 Control Module.
The Commands Structure is that of the RS232 Control Module.
