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-11 to DB-9 serial adapter to connect a computer’s serial port to the
serial port on the CS1942DP / CS1944DP, as shown below:
RJ-11 to DB-9 Adapter

RS-232 Commands
After you login via HyperTerminal (see Console Login - HyperTerminal) use
the instructions below to send RS-232 commands to control the switch from the
computer.
When RS-232 control is enabled via the Open + [Enter] command, the
CS1942DP / CS1944DP’s front panel pushbuttons and hotkeys (excluding the
mouse cursor shift and monitor layout hotkeys) will be disabled, until the serial
connection is closed.
For detailed information about the controls listed in this guide, please refer to
the CS1942DP / CS1944DP user manual.
