    D3232 Rev. 4 3. Connecting the D3232 to your PC For connection to a PC with THOR Router Management System, the RS-232 interface is used. The RS-232 port on all VikinX devices uses the standard DCE pin-out, see pin-out table in Chapter 4.3. A standard modem cable can be used for connecting the router to the PCs serial port.

  • Page 9: Ncb Connection

    D3232 Rev. 4 4. NCB connection Via the Network Control Bus system several routers and control panels can be interconnected. The standard MIDI interface is used on all NCB control ports. The D3232 router utilises 5-PIN DIN connectors for connecting to the NCB. This means that when you connect your D3232 router to other VikinX devices, with RJ45 connectors, an RJ45 to 5-pin DIN interface is necessary.

    D3232 Rev. 4 4.3.3. RJ45 to 5-pin DIN converter In configurations that include both devices with RJ45 connectors, and devices with 5-pin DIN connectors, an RJ45 to 5-pin DIN converter may be used to complete the control loop. This converter holds both connector types, and may work both ways, thus from RJ45 to 5-pin DIN, as well as from 5-pin DIN to RJ45.
