General Overview
With RS-232C serial remote control, a “host” machine such as a PC can be used to operate your DN-
500R. Throughout this document, the equipment used to control DN-500R will be called the
Host .
To learn more about the different types of serial communication and the code structure it requires, see
the
Communication Protocol section that starts on the next page. To view the complete list of serial
command codes, see the Control Command Codes , Status Request Command Codes/Status
Information Codes , and Automatic Status Information Codes sections later in this manual.
Connecting the Host to DN-500R
For serial remote control, you must first connect the host to your DN-500R. Use an RS-232C Straight
Cable (9-Pin D-Sub Male) to connect the RS-232C input on the rear panel of your DN-500R to the
corresponding input on the host. Make sure that the host is installed with proper software for serial
communication.
