RS-232 Operation

Overview

The CS1942DP / CS1944DP’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 CS1942DP / CS1944DP installation are managed via

HyperTerminal sessions on systems that are running Windows. In order to use

this feature to send commands to the CS1942DP / CS1944DP, 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 CS1942DP / CS1944DP 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 CS1942DP / CS1944DP, as shown below:

Note: 1. Slide the DCC Switch to the S position (Secondary) to allow the

KVM switch to receive RS-232 commands.

2. The unit used in the diagram below is CS1944DP, the procedure for

connecting CS1942DP is identical with fewer KVM ports.
