Both JP1 and JP2 should be configured the same way for proper operation. 

 

 

Certain models of Escient Fireball

®

 will need to have the jumpers at JP2 removed completely. If you have 

problems with your unit locking up, please remove these jumpers. 

 

 

Please see the Audioaccess website for any additional information regarding your specific installation. 

 

 Note: Please consult your manufacturer’s information to determine the correct connection of the below 

pins for proper send and receive of RS-232 data.  
 
Our research has shown that if you are using a straight through serial cable (not null modem) you will 
need to have the jumpers in the Top (DTE) position for:  

 

Connecting to your PC for firmware updates 

 

Audio ReQuest Music Servers 

 

Escient Fireball Servers 

 

Audioaccess aDock 

 
Our Research has shown that if you using a straight through serial cable (not null modem) you will need 
to have the jumpers in the Bottom (DCE) position for:

Connection to Audioaccess

®

 Bus 

Connect the four wire phoenix connector using the standard four wire keypad wiring. From top to bottom the 
connections are: 
 

 

 

Optional 12 Volt Power Connection 

Select an AC to DC adaptor of at least 12VDC @ 500mA with a mono 3.5mm (1/8

 mini) plug, tip positive. Insert the 

mini plug into J1 on the CATC/IB and the adaptor into an unswitched outlet. Do NOT use the switched outlet on the 
PX-700!  
 
If you are using the CATC/2WSI with the optional power, you may still be able to use the touchscreens to access the 
attached devices if the PX-700 becomes nonfunctional, or needs to be removed for service. This would be most useful 
for non-audio control such as Lutron Lighting systems. This optional power connection can also be used to power the 
unit during a firmware update if you do not have a PX-700 to supply power to the unit.
