Connecting the Remote Control Machine
11
This section describes how to connect:
The Remote Control rear panel (see section 6.1)
A switcher, an additional controller and/or a PC via the RS-232 ports (see
section 6.1.1)
A PC via the Ethernet (see section 6.2) and configure the Ethernet port
(see section 6.3)
Several Remote Control machines via RS-485 (see section 6.4)
To set the DIP-switches, see section 6.5
6.1 Connecting the Remote Control Rear Panel
To connect the RC-160 Remote Control as illustrated in the example in
Figure 4, do the following:
1. Connect the A/V sources and acceptors, as required, to the Kramer switcher
that is to be controlled.
2. Connect the RS-232 OUT port on the first 1 RC-160 machine to the RS-232
port of a Kramer switcher (for example, the Kramer VS-1616V switcher),
using a null modem adapter 3 .
3. If required, connect the RS-232 OUT port on a second 2 RC-160 machine, to
the RS-232 IN port of the first 1 RC-160 machine, using a null modem
adapter 3 .
4. If required, connect a PC to the RS-232 IN port of the second 2 RC-160
machine 4 .
5. Turn on the power in the following order:
The sources and acceptors on the Kramer switcher
The Kramer switcher
The Remote Control nearest to the switcher (the first unit in this example)
The Remote Control further on the line (the second unit in this example)
6. Set the machine # to 1 on the controllers and the switcher (see section 6.5).
1 The remote control connected to the switcher
2 The remote control further away from the switcher
3 See section 6.1.1
4 Or to the Remote Control that is the furthest away from the switcher. For example, if only one Remote Control is connected
to the switcher, connect the PC to this Remote Control; if three Remote Control machines are connected to the switcher,
connect the PC to the third Remote Control in the line
