Connection to Mercury Controllers:

Using a standard CAT5 patch lead, connect the serial output of the RDM Controller to one of the RS232 ports
of the Mercury Hub.

RS232 Lead Lengths

For mains powered hubs, patch lead maximum length must not exceed 15 metres. (ports 1 - 10)
For Mercury powered hubs, inputs 1 and 2 patch leads must not exceed 5 metres, ports 3 - 10 must not
exceed 15 metres.

The 3-character address that will be seen on the system front end is determined by the position of the two
Network ID rotary switches and the port the controller has been connected to.

module) into the 10Base T ports 1 or 2.
