Securing the HDMI Connector Using the LockIt Bracket 

After connecting an input or output device to an  
HDMI connector, secure the connector in place with 
the provided LockIt bracket as follows (see the 
illustration at right):

1. 

Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection 
(

1

).

2. 

Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw 
from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing 
bracket to be placed over it (

2

).

3. 

Place the LockIt lacing bracket onto the screw 
and slide it up against the HDMI connector. 
Tighten the screw to secure the bracket (

3

).

4. 

Loosely place the included tie wrap around the 
HDMI connector and LockIt lacing bracket (

4

).

5. 

While holding the connector securely against the 
lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap, then remove 
any excess length. 

Connecting for Remote Control

Both DSC models have two control ports through which they can be connected to your 
computer for configuration and control: the rear panel RS-232 port and the front panel 
USB port.

Connecting to the RS-232 Port

To connect your computer or control system to the DSC RS-232 port, you can use an 
Extron Universal Control cable (UC50' or UC100') or other female 9-pin-to-bare-wire 
RS-232 cable. 

1. 

Wire the unterminated end of the RS-232 cable to the provided 3-pole captive screw 
connector as follows (see 

figure 6

 on the next page):

a. 

Connect the transmit wire to the left pin, which plugs into the 

Tx

 (transmit) port.

b. 

Connect the receive wire to the third pin, which plugs into the 

Rx

 (receive) port.

c. 

Connect the ground wire to the last pin, which plugs into the ground port, marked 
with 

G

2. 

Plug the captive screw connector into the rear panel RS-232 port.

3. 

Connect the 9-pin connector end of the RS-232 cable to the serial port of your 
computer or control system. Tighten the captive screws to securely fasten the wires in 
the connector.
