The Controller Cards
The hot-swappable Controller Card connects the Router to an external Linux or Windows CPU. The serial port
can also be used for 3rd party controller integration (such as Crestron, AMX or home-spun interfaces). Also,
the Configurator Software can be used to control the Router via the LAN port. Please note that there is a
separate document for our Configurator Manual. It can be found on our website at
www.thinklogical.com .
The VX320 and VX320VIDEO Routers require an OSD (On Screen Display) version of the Controller Card for
use with the Hot Key Manager: VXM-000031 (VX320) and VXM-000032 (VX320VIDEO).
