XtendLan MUX-1602C
MUX-1602C Remote
Control
The MUX-1602C provides two methods of remote control, RS-232
data
and a remote panel option. Both methods use the rear panel
remote
connector.
Remote Control Panel
A remote control panel is available for each MUX-1602C series
product
as follows. The panels are designated the RP1094, RP1099 and
RP1096 respectively. Each consists of a front panel assembly, a
desktop stand, rack mount brackets, a 50' cable and a local-end
adapter. The local-end adapter connects the panel to the
remote
connector. Remote panel operation is identical to that of the local
panel and control can be exercised from either panel.
For more information about this option, contact your Robot dealer
or Factory Technical Support.
RS-232 Data
The RS-232 remote feature allows the MUX-1602C to be controlled
from a computer or ASCII communications terminal (see
Figure
4
— MUX-1602C System with RS-232). The MUX-
1602C
recognizes special three character groups as remote
button press
commands. Each command represents a single or
combination
(fbutton) button press. Because RS-232 control works
by emulating button presses, any operation that can be performed
at the front panel can be performed remotely.
The RS-232 remote connection requires two wires. One wire
connects to the RS-232 pin (pin 25) and the other connects to a
ground pin (pin 13, 14 or 15). The communication protocol
supported by the MUX-1602C is as follows:
Data Rate:
1200
bps
Characters:
8
Parity:
none
Stop bits:
1
The RS-232 remote pin is an input only. The MUX-1602C
does not
echo commands or output data of any type. See
Remote
Connector
for more information.
