RS232 NETWORK
: To control multiple Cine-IPM 2K s with a computer/controller
having an RS232 interface, first set all Cine-IPM 2K s to the same baud rate as the
controller, then chain the Cine-IPM 2K s together by connecting the
RS232 OUT
connector of the first Cine-IPM 2K (already connected to the computer/controller) to
the
RS232 IN
connector of the next Cine-IPM 2K in the chain. Continue connecting
Cine-IPM 2K s in this manner until you’ve reached the last Cine-IPM 2K in the chain,
so that only the last Cine-IPM 2K has an unused
RS232 OUT
port. See Figure 2.21.

MIXED NETWORKS
: To control multiple Cine-IPM 2K s with a computer/controller
having an RS422 interface, first set them all to the same baud rate as your RS422
controller.
NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS422 and RS232 in the
Communications menu. Set the “Network Routing” option to “RS232 and RS422
Joined”. See Section 3 for details.
Daisy-chain the Cine-IPM 2Ks together by connecting an
RS232 OUT
port of the first
unit (already connected to the computer/controller through its
RS422
port) to the
RS232 IN
port on the next Cine-IPM 2Ks in the chain. Continue connecting Cine-IPM
2Ks in this manner until you’ve reached the last unit in the chain, so that only the last
Cine-IPM 2K has an unused
RS232 OUT
port.

Note that communication parameters such as baud rate must be set to match the
particular controlling device
before connecting as a network—refer to the
documentation that came with your controlling device in order to determine the
proper baud rate. See
