7.2. Comms channel (Page 1)

The Comms page lets you select the communications channel on which the unit, acting as slave, will send/receive data to/from a controlling PC. Alternatively, you can select the DN9340E unit as a master to control the network. The master unit not only controls the network but also acts as a slave unit.

Comms channels 1 to 32 are available that provide up to 64 inputs in a slave network comprising DN9340E and/or DN9344E units. The units are remotely controlled from a PC using the Elgar Library Manager and HELIX DN9340E/DN9344E RCS add-in software. For more information on remote control set ups, see Section 10.
