The cable that you use depends on your network speed. The switcher supports
both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet),
half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.
• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.

See the Remote Configuration and Control section beginning on page 45 for
definitions of the SIS commands (serial commands to control the switcher via this
connector) and the
Matrix Software section beginning on page 67 for details on
how to install and use the control software.
NOTE: The switcher can support either an RS-232 or RS-422 serial
communication protocol, and operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud
rates (see
Selecting the RS-232 or RS-422 Protocol and Baud Rate on
page 36 to configure the RS232/RS422 port from the front panel).
If desired, connect an MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel to the switcher
Remote RS232/RS422 connector (see the MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel User’s
Manual and the MKP 3000 User’s Manual for details).
RS-232 Config connector (front panel) — On the HDXP 3232 only, an additional
RS-232 port is located on the front panel. A host device can be connected to this
port for serial RS-232 control only. Protocol for the port is:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• No flow control
