RS232/422 CONVERSION
Remote control connections to Calrec
Apollo, Artemis and Hydra2 systems
are made via TCP/IP. 3rd party
controllers that use point to point
true RS232/422 serial will require
convertors to connect to the Calrec
system.
Various options are available for serial to
TCP/IP conversion, Calrec recommend
the use of, and can supply dual PSU
Perle IOLAN SCS8's. Calrec chose this
unit specifically for its dual power supply
option, its 1U rack mount enclosure, and
its flexible data routing options.
Fitted with 8 x RS232 serial ports and 2 x
Ethernet ports. Data can be routed from a
single serial port controller to both primary
and secondary Calrec connections.
Controllers with a backup port, or systems
with backup controllers can route the
normally active port to the Calrec primary
card, and the backup to the secondary.
For 3rd party controllers that operate on
RS422, Calrec can also supply in-line
RS232-422 cable convertors (Calrec
stock code 312-269) to use in conjunction
with the Perle SCS8.
The Perle unit needs to be configured to
connect to the Calrec Hydra2 network's
Master Router card/s (SW-P-08 /
EMBER) or each console's Controller
card/s (CSCP) by their IP addresses.
In cases where the default Calrec card
IP addresses are not suitable, as can
be the case if data is being passed over
a shared Ethernet infrastructure, the
Calrec hardware can be configured to be
accessed by alternative IP addresses.
