This mode is similar to the Scanned Manual Mode, in
that the unit continuously checks the front panel
switches for any change. When a change is detected,
the unit then waits for the operator to press the LOAD
pushbutton before switching the audio.

Mode 3: Single Unit Remote Mode
In this mode, all audio switching is accomplished by
sending commands via the RS232 Serial Interface.
See BAUD Rate for setting the communication
speed.

Mode 4: Multiple Unit Remote Mode
This mode is the same as Mode 3, but also supports
multiple units on the same RS232 interface. Each unit
must have a unique Unit Identification Code, and
requires address commands to be sent from the host
computer prior to any switching commands. See
BAUD Rate for setting the communication speed.

BAUD Rate
The front panel thumbwheel switch labeled Channel 2
is used to program the baud rate for the RS232
interface. The serial interface parameters are 1 stop
bit, 8 data bits, and no parity. The AS8x8 supports
the following baud rates:

Switch Setting BAUD Rate
1 9600
2 4800
3 2400
4 1200
5 600
