Serial Ports

The HDXP can support either RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication protocol and can
operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates (see

Selecting the RS-232 and

RS-422 Protocol and Baud Rate

on page 36 to set the baud rate for your switcher).

The HDXP has two ports for serial control, both of which enable use of SIS commands
and the Matrix Switcher Control Program. The default protocol for these ports is:

9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control
The HDXP serial ports can be connected to the serial port of a host device such as a
computer running the Extron DataViewer utility, an RS-232 capable PDA, or a control
system. This connection makes software control of the switcher possible.

Rear Panel RS232/RS422 port: The rear panel 9-pin D female connector labeled
Remote RS232/RS422 can be connected to the serial port of a host device for
RS-232 or RS-422 control of the HDXP. For the pin assignments for this port, see

RS-232 and RS-422 Remote Connections

on page 11.

Front Panel RS-232 Port (HDXP 3232 Plus only): The front panel TRS connector
labeled Config can be connected to a host device for RS-232 control only.
The optional 2.5 mm cable can be ordered separately and used to connect the
HDXP 3232 Plus to the host serial port. For connection information for this cable, see

RS-232 Config connector (front panel)
