6 Operating the PL-18 Control Port Expander
The PL-18 is typically used to expand the number of ports available to an
RC series remote control device. The combined RC
1
and PL-18 are
configured from the RC device using RC-SV software that can be
downloaded from the Kramer Web site

The PL-18 can also be operated directly from a PC, touch screen system, or
other serial controller using the serial commands of Kramer’s Protocol
3000. For an explanation of all control commands, see section
.
9 .
In addition to operating the PL-18, machine software can be upgraded, and
device parameters can be accessed and changed using P3K Wizard software
also available from the Kramer Web site
