3.10. Port Control Operation
MuxLab’s Multimedia 16x16 Matrix Switch may be controlled in any one of two
ways:
1. RS-232 Control
2. USB CDC Control
1. RS-232 Control
The Multimedia 16x16 Matrix Switch features built-in firmware that allows
commands from an ASCII terminal to be sent directly to the device via an RS-232
connection. Ensure that the RS-232 cable has the straight-through configuration shown
in Figure 12.

Please note that the use of USB to RS232 converter cables may result in problems,
depending on the quality of the converters.
2. USB CDC Control
Commands from an ASCII terminal may also be sent directly to the device via a USB
connection. Maintenance can be performed with a terminal emulator, such as the one
available under windows with the ASCII Command set described in the Appendix of
this manual.
