Communication Settings
Establishing communications is an essential step when setting up the control
system. Once communications are established with the control system, you can
upload programming, update firmware, and use all the diagnostic tools available
in Crestron Toolbox.
Communications can be established using a serial (RS-323) connection, or by
using a TCP/IP connection. For additional connection details, refer to
“Establishing Communications with the Control System” in the latest version of
the 2-Series Control Systems Reference Guide, Doc. 6256.
The following connections are unique to the QM-RMCRX-BA.
Serial Connection
Connect the COM B port on the QM-RMCRX-BA
control system to one of the COM ports (usually
COM 1) on the PC. The QM-RMCRX-BA requires
the use of a null-modem RS-232 cable with DB9
female connectors on both ends. Most c
available cables are acceptable; they should have at
least five pins for transmit, receive, ground, and
hardware handshaking (pins 2, 3, 5, 7 and 8).
