1. Plug one end of the included RS-232 cable into the RS232 connector on one of the
receivers, then plug the other end into an available COM port on your PC.
2. Plug one end of a second RS-232 cable (not included) in the RS232 connector on the
matrix, then plug the other end into the RS-232 control connector on your third-
party device.
3. Using RS-232 control software, send the RS232RCMxxON. command to enable
remote RS-232 control, where xx=00 for all HDBaseT™ receivers or 01-06 for an
individual receiver. Refer to the
RS-232 COMMANDS
section for command details.

RS-232 CONTROL
The matrix can be controlled using RS-232 commands issued from RS-232 control software.
Before you can issue RS-232 commands, you must plug one end of the included RS-232
Cable into the RS232 terminal block on the matrix rear panel, then plug the other end into
an available serial port on your computer.
Next, you need to download and install RS-232 control
software. A common freeware RS-232 control software is
CommWatch.exe, which this section will use as an example,
but other software can be used instead.
The default communications parameters are:
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1 Parity: None

RS-232 COMMANDS
This section details all available RS-232 commands. These commands can be entered using
RS-232 control software or on the RS232 tab in the Web GUI.
Notes:
• In the following commands, the [ and ] characters are used to make it easier to read
the command. Do not enter these characters.
• The period at the end is part of the command and must be included for the
command to work.
• The commands are case sensitive, so enter them exactly as shown in the tables
below.

5. Plug a USB flash drive into an available USB port on your PC.
6. Change the volume name of the USB flash drive to BOOTDISK.
7. Copy the 08010000.APP file onto the USB flash drive. Check the contents of the USB
flash drive to ensure that a file named READY.TXT is present.
8. Remove the USB flash drive from your PC.
9. Ensure that the matrix is powered off, then plug the USB flash drive into the FW
port on the rear panel.
10. Turn the matrix on to automatically update the firmware.
11. When the process is complete, remove the USB flash drive from the matrix and plug
it into an available USB port on your PC.
12. Check the contents of the USB flash drive. If the READY.TXT file is no longer present
and a SUCCESS.TXT file is present, the firmware has been successfully updated. If
not, delete the contents of the USB flash drive, then repeat steps 6-12.
13. Once the firmware has been successfully updated, restore the matrix to its factory
default settings by issuing the RST. RS-232 command.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Q1: The video signal is losing color or there is no video output.
A1: Ensure that the cables are properly plugged in. Check that the cable is good by
replacing it with a known good one.
Q2: There is no output image when switching.
A2: Ensure that the cables are properly plugged in. Check that output HDCP™ compliance
is enabled. Check that the display supports the selected video resolution. Use an
oscilloscope or multimeter to verify that there is a signal at the input and output ends.
Q3: The front panel buttons do not work.
A3: Ensure that the front panel buttons are not locked.
Q4: The IR remote control does not work.
A4: Ensure that you are using the remote within the IR range and at the proper angle.
Replace the remote control's battery. Ensure that the IR receiver is properly plugged in.
Try replacing the IR receiver.
Q5: The POWER LED on the front panel remains off, even after switching power on.
A5: Ensure that the power cord is properly plugged in. Verify that the power outlet has
power by plugging in another device, such as a lamp.
Q6: EDID® management does not work properly.
A6: Try replacing the HDMI® cable with a known good one.

Q7: The screen on the display is blank when switching.
A7: Try switching again. Manually adjust the EDID® data to set a usable video resolution for
the video source.
Q8: The matrix cannot be controlled using RS-232 commands.
A8: Check the RS-232 cable connection at each end. Ensure that the RS-232
communication parameters are set as baud rate=9600, data bits=8, stop bits=1,
parity=none. Try using a different COM port.
