12.3.2 Connecting the system equipment
For an overview of the connections, please refer to the HELIX Remote Control Software: Brief Guide to
Setting Up an Ethernet System user guide.
To connect up a HELIX RCS Ethernet System:
1 Connect, power up and set up the addresses of your slave HELIX units in a daisy chain
network as described in the DN9340 Operators Manual. If using Solo Tracking, the ‘first’
HELIX in the daisy chain must be located in the FOH Stack for connection to the console.
2 Connect the UDS1100 Converter to the first
HELIX, as follows:
For RS-232 communications (for example,
when using Solo Tracking), use a male D25
to male D9 cable joined to the host cable
(female D9 to 9-way mini DIN) to connect the
serial port of the Lantronix UDS1100
Converter to the PC port on the front panel of
the first HELIX unit in the daisy chain.
OR
For RS-485 communications, use a male D25
to XLR cable to connect the UDS1100
Converter to the Comm In XLR plug on the
rear panel of the first HELIX unit in the daisy chain.
Important! Ensure that the Serial Protocol is set correspondingly to RS-232 or RS-485 in
the Lantronix Configuration web page. To view the page, enter the IP address of the
UDS1100 box into the web browser address field.
