CS1964 RS-232 Commands

RS-232 Operation

Overview

The CS1964’s built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial interface allows system

control through a high-end controller or PC. RS-232 serial operations in a

CS1964 installation are managed via HyperTerminal sessions on systems that

are running Windows. In order to use this feature to send commands to the

CS1964, you must first download and install a HyperTerminal application. For

detailed instructions and information about each of the commands provided in

this manual, please refer to the CS1964 user manual.

Setup

Install a HyperTerminal application on a computer that is not part of the

installation, which will be used to control the switch via the RS-232

connection. HyperTerminal applications can be download from the Internet,

and many operating systems are embedded with HyperTerminal applications.

Hardware Connection

Use a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial adapter to connect a computer’s serial port to the

DCC Port on the CS1964, as shown below:

Note: Slide the DCC Switch to the S position (Secondary) to allow the KVM

switch to receive RS-232 commands.
