Chapter 4: System Expansion
The AH66T has two RS232 ports that allow integration of the Sonance ® FS-22 or IW-22
iPort ® docking stations, the RadioRA ® 2 Lighting System, the Sirius ® SR-H2000 Satellite
Radio Tuner or control by a 3 rd party serial control device.
A single chassis can accommodate any two of the above options. A dual AH66T system
allows any combination of the above, to a maximum of four.
NOTE: Only Comm Port # 1 of chassis # 1 can be assigned to be the interface for 3 rd
party control systems.
Comm Port configuration programming is done using the ATON configuration software.
The two DB9M-RJ45 adapters (included) are used to connect to the serial ports of the iPod
dock and the RadioRA2 lighting system. The DB9F-RJ45 NULL Modem adapter (included)
is used to interface with 3 rd party control devices.
Figure 4-1: DB9 to RJ45 Adapters
Using a Cat5 cable, connect the RJ45 side of the adapter to the correct Comm Port for the
device, as designated in the ATON configuration software. Connect the DB9 side of the
adapter to the serial device.
When integrating 3 rd party devices, ATON recommends verifying correct operation of the
3 rd party equipment prior to integration with the AH66T.
This manual deals primarily with connections required between the AH66T and the 3 rd party
equipment. You should always have the manuals for the equipment you are incorporating
into the AH66T system for reference.
NOTE:
DEFAULT configuration
of the AH66T is
described in Appendix
C of this manual.
