Connecting a PC to the central unit

You require one PC with two serial interfaces or two PCs with one serial interface each.

To control the conference and interpretation system via one or two PCs using the SDC 8200SYS/SDC 8200SYS-M software:

Connect one serial interface to the COM 3 interface unit to control the conference system.

Connect the other serial interface to the COM 1 interface tral unit to control the interpretation system.

Note!

If you are using more than one central unit, the PC has to be connected to the “master” central unit.

For connecting a PC to the central unit, you require the cables shown below:
