is set to receive MIDI In

A remote Pro64 device

RS-232 Port
The Pro64 RS‑232 VDC ports allow a pair of devices to transfer control data
at rates up to 57.6k baud across the Pro64 network. Using Virtual Data Cables
for RS‑232 always requires two VDCs because RS‑232 data transfers requires
communicating devices to be set up in a handshaking pair. Note that RS‑232
communication is point‑to‑point, meaning that a maximum of seven RS‑232
sessions (14 total devices) is possible when using Pro64 Virtual Data Cables.
The first eight switches on the DIP switch block are used to set the RS-232
baud rate.
The RS‑232 port is also used for computer communication for software
updates and other Managed Mode applications.
The RS‑232 port on the 6416i uses a 9‑pin DB9 connector and eight of the
ten DIP switches in the DIP switch block (the remainder are used for system
functions).
