Go  to  panel  control  of  DP2696  (Device  then  Add  Device  Panel,  select 
DP2696, press enter) 

- 

Open Crossover window.

Access to the choice of the source is in the first column of the table. 

 

Connection to a computer  

Connection  RS232  Many  laptops  do  not  comprise  a  connection  series  RS232.  It  is  then 
advisable to use a converter USB towards RS232. We can provide an optional accessory USB 
& RS232 interface or you can use a commercial interface. Unfortunately, few converters meet 
the requirements to perform correctly with the DP2696. The converters must be equipped with 
chips FTDI or Prolific X (imperative version "X"). The following converters USB - RS 232 were 
tested and are satisfactory.

Aten UC 232A (Is the one with the most updated drivers) 

▪

 

Easysync US232B 

▪

 

Easysync USB-COM 

 

A 9 pins extension cable should be envisaged, in addition to the converter, because this device 
cannot be installed directly on the DP2696. Podware software is available on request or can be
