NOTE:

  The maximum continuous current from equipment under any external 

load conditions shall not exceed a current limit that is suitable for the minimum 
wire gauge used in interconnecting cables. The ratings on the connecting unit's 
supply input should be considered to prevent overloading the wiring.

Establishing Communication with the QM-RMC 

Before uploading a program to the QM-RMC or performing diagnostic 
functions, you must connect the QM-RMC system to the PC. The connection 
can be either serial or TCP/IP. 

NOTE:  

For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port, Crestron 

recommends the use of PCMCIA cards, rather than USB-to-serial adapters. If a 
USB-to-serial adapter must be used, Crestron has tested the following devices 
with good results: 
 
 

Belkin (large model) F5U103 

 I/O 

Gear 

GUC232A 

 Keyspan 

USA-19QW 

 
Other models, even from the same manufacturer, may not yield the same results. 

Serial Connection 

Connect the COM B port on the QM-RMC control system to one of the COM 
ports (usually COM 1) on the PC. Use a null-modem RS-232 cable with  DB9 
female connectors on both ends. Most commercially available cables are
