4.1 Introduction
Once the Cougar and Jaguar Switching Systems are installed in the
equipment racks and configured, system connections can be made. Use
the following manual sections as guides to insure that the switching sys-
tem interconnections are properly connected and that the control, power,
sync, audio, and video cables are correctly installed.
4.2 Cougar Video Frame Connectors
The following manual subsections discuss the various system connectors
found on the rear backplane (rear panel) of the Cougar Video Routing
Switcher. Refer to Figure 4-1 for a visual reference of the Cougar Video
Frame's rear panel.
RCP Panel Connectors (J9-J12)
The RS485 panel port connectors allow the daisy-chained connection of
up to 64 remote control panels to the Cougar Video Routing Switcher.
Bidirectional communications between the internally installed 3300
Controller(s) and the various models of PESA's low cost RCP control
panels are sent and received over RS485 buss.
Serial (CPU Link) Connectors (J13 and J14)
The CPU Link connectors allow serial communications between the inter-
nally installed 3300 Controller(s) and up to two external computers. The
3300 Controller supports asynchronous, bidirectional communications, at
9600 baud. The protocol used in communication via these ports is a
proprietary protocol developed by PESA for switcher control. Be sure to
use a "null modem" cable for all serial (CPU link) connections. The pinout
for CPU link connector is as follows:
