Serial Cable Installation

There are two types of serial interface used on the DP569, RS-232, and RS-485. It
is important to use the correct type of interface and the correct cable to ensure a
reliable connection.

Each RS-232 port on a PC must be connected to a single DP569; the application can,
however, control many RS-232 ports. For example, with five free RS-232 ports on a
computer, five DP569 devices may be controlled with a single instance of the
DolbyRemote application.

A single RS-485 computer port may connect to several devices, provided the devices
use the RS-485 connection and they have all been configured with different unit
addresses. See Section 4.2.6.
