    BES-3232/75 Rev. 2 3 Connecting the BES-3232/75 to your PC For connection to a PC with Triton Router Control System, the RS-232 interface is used. The RS-232 port on all Triton devices uses the standard DCE pin-out, see pin-out table under 4.3. A standard modem cable can be used for connecting the router to the PCs serial port.
  • Page 12: Ncb Connection

    Triton devices, with RJ45 connectors, an RJ45 to 5-pin DIN interface is necessary. This converter can be ordered from Thomson Grass Valley. The NCB system allows connection of up to 16 routers with different levels on the same bus. Control panels dedicated to work with a specific router must be configured to the same level as the router.
