3.CONNECTING TO THE MATRIX

3.1CONNECTING THE MATRIX PORTS

The following drawing shows the rear view of a fully equipped 6U rack. Connectors are provided for the P.C., status alarms, panels and externals. These connectors are wired as detailed below. Connector types and pinouts for the Commander rack connectors are given.

The numbering of port outputs is indicated on the connector plate on the right hand side of the rear of the rack. Port 1 is the top right connector, port 6 the bottom right; port 91 is the top left and port 96 the bottom left. In systems with more than 1 rack, numbering continues from port 97 in the second rack, as indicated by the printing.

The frame number (1 to 4) is indicated by appropriate marking of the boxes at the bottom of the connector plate.

Early systems did not have printing on this plate. Use this drawing as a guide.

3.2CONNECTING THE PC TO THE COMMANDER SYSTEM

A number of different options are available, depending on the type of computer and size of the matrix. These are:

•A laptop or desktop PC communicating directly via a free RS232 (COM) port. See section 3.2.1.

•A Trilogy 500-16-03 download converter box. This interfaces the serial port on a laptop or desktop PC to the transputer (high-speed) download port on a Commander matrix. See section 3.2.2..

Connect the PC to the D9 type plug labelled "20MB/s PC link" on the rear right side of the matrix. In a multi-frame system (i.e. >96 ports) the PC may be connected to any of the available PC connectors but we would recommend frame 1 as the default. Initially, we suggest establishing control of the system using the supplied cable.

3.2.1CONNECTION VIA A PC COM PORT USING RS232

For the later releases of PathFinder 4.16 and all releases of PathFinder 4.2x, provided the system is fitted with 500-02-12 Talkback Controller cards, the matrix may be upgraded to allow serial communication from a free computer COM port. It may be necessary to exchange the matrix rear connection plate: alternatively, an external RS422 to RS232 converter must be fitted. Please contact Trilogy Communications for further information.

The factory default configures the matrix for RS232 communication. See section 3.4.3 for wiring information.
