Werecommend the use of an external RS-232/RS-422 adapter. One example is the Antona ANC 6090 which can beordered from your Merging sales representative under the item number MRS422. This adapter is intended to beconnected directly to the serial port of your PC (either COM1 or COM2) with the other end used to connect a standardSony P2 RS-422 cable. As both connectors on the adapter are Female DB9, beware of the orientation andplease check that the printed indication "RS-232" is connected to the PC COM port.Connecting an RS422 device using a direct cable(without RS-232 / RS-422 adapter)For emergency use and for short distances, a direct cable may be used. However, Merging Technologies does notguarantee the correct function of an external controller if this cable is used. Different cables are required dependingon whether Pyramix is controlled by a master device or is controlling a slave device.Direct Cable for a Master DeviceThis pinout should work in most of the cases where Pyramix is controlled by a Master device (check on your controllerif the RS422 connector has to be male or female). It has been tested with various mixers such as Sony DMX-R100, Soundcraft Spirit, Soundtracs DPC II and DS3, and various other Sony P2 protocol capable controllers:RS422 Male (or Female) DB9RS232 Female DB9FunctionPin #Pin #FunctionGNDRcv -Xmit +GNDN.C.GNDRcv +Xmit -GND123456789123456789DCD/RLSDRxTxDTRGNDDSRRTSCTSRIShieldShieldRS422 DIrect Cable for Master Device pinoutsAppendices : Appendix VI 9 - Pin connection 29 - 576
