DEBUG/MONITOR PORT CONNECTION

The 7700PTX-MVP is configured via the debug/monitor port, the header of which is labelled J1. A
special Evertz adapter cable allows this port to connect to the COM port of a personal computer. The
following steps describe this procedure.
1. Locate the small, keyed, four–pin end of the upgrade cable provided by Evertz.
2. Connect it to the four-pin interface (J1) near the front of the 7700PTX, directly above the card
unlock latch.
