having an RS232 interface, first set all Cine-IPM 2Ks to the same baud rate as the
controller, then chain the Cine-IPM 2Ks together by connecting the
RS232 OUT
connector of the first Cine-IPM 2K (already connected to the computer/controller) to
the connector of the next Cine-IPM 2K in the chain. Continue connecting
RS232 IN
Cine-IPM 2Ks in this manner until you've reached the last Cine-IPM 2K in the chain,
so that only the last Cine-IPM 2K has an unused port. See Figure 2.21.

MIXED NETWORKS
having an RS422 interface, first set them all to the same baud rate as your RS422
controller.
NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS422 and RS232 in the
Communications menu. Set the "Network Routing" option to "RS232 and RS422
Joined". See Section 3 for details.
Daisy-chain the Cine-IPM 2Ks together by connecting an port of the first
RS232 OUT
unit (already connected to the computer/controller through its port) to the
RS422
port on the next Cine-IPM 2Ks in the chain. Continue connecting Cine-IPM
RS232 IN
2Ks in this manner until you've reached the last unit in the chain, so that only the last
Cine-IPM 2K has an unused port.

Note that communication parameters such as baud rate must be set to match the
particular controlling device before connecting as a network—refer to the
documentation that came with your controlling device in order to determine the
proper baud rate. See 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls if you
