152 JUPITER CM-4400 Control Module Installation and Operating Manual
Section 5 — The Configurator Application
Serial Protocol Table
The Serial Protocol table must be used when a CM-4400 System Controller
is first connected to control panels and other serial control devices. This
includes remote (third party) switchers. This table is also used when a
Saturn video processor serves as a connection point for an MPK bus, and/
or when a PC acts as a Software Control Panel.
Note In previous releases of the Jupiter system, a Serial port had to be defined in
the Serial Protocol table and a serial device needed to be defined on that port
in the MPK Devices table. If a serial connection was not defined, the CM-4000
board would not start successfully. In the 7.8.1 version (and later) of Jupiter,
Jupiter XPress and AccuSwitch boards will operate without a serial device
defined.
The CM-4400 has eight serial ports; each can be set individually
(Figure108).

The columns on the right side of the table show the baud rate setting for
each port (Figure109).
