Connection directly to the RS485 Network
If a connection to the first unit cannot be easily achieved with a USB cable (due
to location of this unit) then a longer RS485 connection is possible via the rear
panel connection using a suitable RS485 converter. We recommend the KK
Systems USB-485 adapter for simple conversion to RS485.
This device is powered via the USB connection and so has the ability to drive long
cable runs reliably. This device is available from us, or directly from KK Systems
at
www.kk-systems.com . The converter comes with a 9-pin D-type fitted as
standard – this has to be adapted to an XLR connection.
To prevent voiding the warranty on the converter, we advise not cutting the 9-pin
off, but rather make up an adapter – the pin out for this is below.
9-pin D type XLR Phoenix
Pin 4 1 1
Pins 3+7
(Brown + Orange)
2 2
Pins 8+2
(Black + Yellow)
3 3
Remember to set the first unit to SLAVE mode instead of MASTER so it
accepts data on the rear Phoenix instead of the USB. Also, the baud rate
setting in iCore now must match that of all connected units.
See page 16 for how to change this.
