If there is no K-Net auxiliary device specified in the K-Config control room tree, the K-Net port of the SL-14RC/N will be configured to connect to an RC-3TBU. The RC-3TBU Configurator Software is used to program the buttons of the device...
Connecting the SL-14RC/N Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your SL-14RC/N. After connecting your SL-14RC/N, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device. Figure 5: Connecting the SL-14RC/N Master Controller To connect the SL-14RC/N as illustrated in the example in Figure 1.
Figure 6: RS-232 Connection Connecting the Ethernet Port The Ethernet connection of the SL-14RC/N lets you perform all control functions of the SL-14RC/N over the Internet using a PC running the Kramer Site-CTRL control program. SL-14RC/N - Connecting the SL-14RC/N...
To connect the SL-14RC/N to a network: 1. Connect the Ethernet port of the SL-14RC/N to the Ethernet port on a network hub or network router, via a straight cable with RJ-45 connectors. 2. At the other end, connect the Internet to a PC running Site-CTRL. 3.
Figure 8: Daisy-chaining Multiple RC-3TB/U Panels Note the position of the termination switch on the first RC-3TB (open, to the right), and that of the second RC-3TB (closed, to the left). When using the RC-3TBU, the same termination scheme must be used.
