Encore Controller to Router Connections

båÅçêÉ=`çåíêçääÉê=íç=oçìíÉê=`çååÉÅíáçåë

This application note provides information on how to use RS-232 communications to

connect the Encore Controller (both the SC and LC models) to various routers and

peripheral equipment. All RS-232 connections to the Controller are made through the

controller's DB-9 EXT COMM port.

The following topics are provided in this application note:

•EXT COMM Pinouts

•Cable Connection — Straight Through

•Cable Connection — Null Modem

•Lantronix Ethernet to Serial Cable Connection

•Router Connection Table

Important All Barco/ Folsom Routers can be connected to the Encore

Controller via Ethernet. This is the preferred connection

method.
