The DHD Controller provides the following interfaces to external equipment that allow it to
control or be controlled by that equipment:
• An RS-232 interface to a PC or control/automation system;
• Three (3), 12-volt trigger outputs;
• An infrared (IR) repeater input;
• An Ethernet network interface for firmware updates and maintenance notifications.
The following sections describe how to make these interface connections. For more
information about using these connections, refer to Network on page 76 and External
Control on page 87.
RS-232 Controller Connection: Use a straight-through, 9-pin RS-232 cable to connect
a PC or control/automation system (if present) to the RS-232 port on the DHD Controller;
see Figure 3-18.
