10.4. Serial Connection (Option)

There is an option to control your system remotely from a laptop/ PC via the RS-232 connection (the “PC PORT”) on the front panel of the first HELIX DN9340E/DN9344E unit. It is possible to connect to other HELIX DN9340E/DN9344E units from the rear Ethernet port(s) when using a serial connection, but note that this will be slower than using Ethernet.

10.4.1Serial connection details

The system set up for serial connection is illustrated below.

10.4.2Connection and Configuration Procedure

The HELIX RCS laptop/PC is connected to the daisy chain as follows:

To connect, set up and configure your system for serial operation

1Connect the HELIX DN9340E/DN9344E units in a daisy chain configuration, see Section 10.2.1.

2Power up the HELIX DN9340E/DN9344E units and assign each one a unique Comms channel, as described in Sections 7.2 and 15.2.

Note

The order of the addresses does not need to mirror the order of the daisy chain networking, but each unit MUST have a unique comms channel address.

3Referring to the following table, connect your laptop/PC to the first HELIX unit in the daisy chain.
