    The BASIS 722az includes an RJ-45 network connection port on the rear panel, which is labeled "QSControl". All data communications between the BASIS 722az and a control computer, such as a PC running the QSControl.net server or client application, takes place via this rear panel QSControl port.
  • Page 5 Example 1- QSControl.net X-over mode: This example illustrates the simplest connection you can make between the BASIS 722az and a computer. You simply use a CAT-5 crossover cable connected between the BASIS 722az rear panel QSControl port and a computer's network interface card, (NIC). Note that the computer’s NIC must support 10BASE-T Ethernet (nearly all do).
