Options port
This RS232 serial port can separately support the following functions:
• Power switching - can be configured to control multiple power switching devices.
• Remote control switching - commands can be received that will change the
channel, as necessary.
• Synchronisation - allows the actions of two or more AdderView CATx 1000
switches to be synchronised so that multiple computers/video screens can be
switched and accessed.
• Upgrades - used to update the internal firmware when necessary by connecting to
a computer.
• Transferring configuration settings - allows information about the connected
computers to be saved and restored.
