4.1. Matrix Switch
Users can connect the SWMP device to control PC and set up the device as matrix switcher in this
section.
4.1.1. Connect to the SWMP via RJ45 for RS232
Connect the SWMP to the control PC with a serial cable (a RS232 to USB cable is included in the
package)
If the software was connected via UART (RS232) last
time, software will connect to the SWMP
automatically vis RS232. If it was used at Network
