RS-232 Operation
Overview
The CS261’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
CS261 installation are managed via HyperTerminal sessions on systems that
are running Windows. In order to use this feature to send commands to the
CS261, you must first download and install a HyperTerminal application. For
more detailed instructions and information about each of the commands
provided in this manual, please refer to the original CS261 user manual.
Setup
Install a HyperTerminal application on a computer that is not part of the CS261
setup, which will be connected and used to control the CS261 via RS-232.
HyperTerminal applications can be download from the internet, and many
operating systems are embedded with HyperTerminal applications.
Hardware Connection
Use an RJ-11 to DB-9 serial adapter
connect the computer’s serial port to the Serial port of the CS261, as shown
below:

Console Login - HyperTerminal
Once a physical connection from the computer to the CS261 has been made,
you can establish a HyperTerminal session using the instructions below.
1. Open the HyperTerminal application, and configure the port settings for
the appropriate COM port number, then click OK.
Bits per Second: 19200, Data Bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, Flow Control:
None.
2. When configured correctly a login prompt like the one below appears:

RS-232 Commands
After you login via HyperTerminal (see Console Login - HyperTerminal,
page 5), you can use the instructions below to send RS-232 commands to
control the CS261 from a remote system.
When the RS-232 link is opened, the CS261 will no longer accept commands
from front panel buttons or most of hotkey functions (excluding hotkey
switching mode, console status and turn off/on the other monitor and audio).
For more detailed instructions and information about each of the RS-232
commands listed below, please refer to the original CS261 user manual.
Verification
After entering a command, a verification message appears at the end of the
command line, as follows:
Response Message Description
command OK Command or parameter is correct.
command incorrect Command or parameter is incorrect.
