CONNECTIONS- RS-232 Processor Configuration Connection

RS-232 Connection (215PCM only)

Each Processor has a 9-pin “D-sub” connector labeled RS-232. The RS-232 connection is used to configure the Processor by connecting to the PC’s COM port.

Important points:

–The 215PCM must be ON (powered up) in order to configure the Processors.

–Each Processor is configured individually.

–The serial cable connection is not required after configuring a Processor.

–Configurations are kept in the Processor’s nonvolatile memory and on the PC.

RS-232:Used to setup (or configure) the Processor. Connect to your PC’s COM port using a normal 9-pin serial data cable (25 ft. maximum length). The Signal Manager software used to create your DSP chain “talks” to the Processor through the computer’s COM port connection. Once the Processor has been configured, RS- 232 connection is no longer required. Any change to the Processor’s setup requires the RS-232 connection to the PC’s COM port.

To Configure a Processor (215PCM only)

1- Install the included Signal Manager software on a PC/laptop meeting the minimum system requirements. See page 22 for complete installation instructions.

2- Connect a normal 9-pin serial data cable between your PC’s COM port and the RS-232 connector of the Processor you want to set up (or configure).

3- Start the Signal Manager software and establish communication between the PC and the Processor. If the status indicator (bottom right of the Signal Manager window) shows ONLINE, the software and Processor are connected. If it does not, verify cable connections and refer to the top of page 29, Troubleshooting.

4- Use the Help system to learn how to use Signal Manager.
