Panasonic AW-HS50N External device control interfaces, LAN connection, Tally/Gpi

7. External device control interfaces

7-1. LAN connection

Use LAN cables to connect the AW-HE50, AW-RP50 and host computer. When connecting the unit directly to another device, use a crossover cable. For network connections via a device such as a hub, use straight cables.

When a hub is not going to be used, ensure that the length of the LAN cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft.) (when a CAT5E cable is used).

￿￿For further details on the AW-HE50 and AW-RP50 connections and settings, refer to “2-2-2. Example of connections”.

￿￿For details on the functions available when connection has been made to the host computer, refer to “8. Connections with a computer”.

7-2. TALLY/GPI

The TALLY/GPI connector features five contact input ports				D-sub 15-pin, female, inch thread
for controlling the unit from an external device and seven					8	1
open collector output ports for outputting the tally and status
information from the unit to an external device.
