Setup Procedures

Mixed Serial Network (RS-232 and RS-422)

Do not connect incompatible equipment, including the wrong type of serial cable to the 
RS-422 port. Failure to comply could cause equipment damage.
RS-422 serial communication is better over long distances than RS-232 communication. Use the 
RS-422 port only if your device has RS-422 capability. Always read the equipment literature before
connecting. In the RS-422 network the controller can communicate with the first projector and the
command can be relayed to each serially connected projector.
1. Connect the controller to 1 projector by connecting an RS-422 serial cable between the PC and
the RS-422 port on the input panel.
2. Connect an RS-232 serial cable between the RS-232 OUT connector of the first projector and the
RS-232 IN connector of the next projector. Connect the remaining projectors using RS-232
cables.
3. Set the serial options in Configuration > Communications. See
4. Set network routing in Configuration > Communications > Network Routing to RS-232
and RS-422 Joined. See
