If you wish to connect a PC to Data port 1, you must ensure that the PC and the system are identically configured. The available settings are:

The control interface provided by the data port supports a subset of the Hayes command set as well as a comprehensive set of system specific commands. It maintains communication with the data port’s command interpreter at all times. All features available from the hand-held remote control can be accessed through the data port.

Data Port 2

Data port 2 is dedicated to the main camera and will not be available in standard configuration. The Data Port 2 menu contains the same items as the Data Port 1 menu; Baud Rate, Parity, Databits, Stopbits except for the Mode, which has VISCA and Auto selections,

The system will automatically detect Precision HD Cameras and WAVE cameras. At least one of the cameras must be connected to the data port. If you are using a camera supporting the VISCA protocol, select Mode: VISCA.

If Mode is Auto and no camera is connected to the Data port 2, the Baud Rate, Parity, Databits and Stopbits settings will be enabled.
