The CDI-S100 should be configured before being installed (see section 3 for configuration details). The CDI-S100 is supplied with two 25mm hex spacers and a 9-pin sub-D plug. The module is connected to the CX462 main board via a connector located at the rear of the mixer, close to the output terminals. The connector is marked 'CON 7'.

To allow the module to have full control of the unit there is a set of internal jumpers which need to be checked and set. In all configurations the module will have control over the master microphone level.
