Connecting Multi-Room Controller or Touch Panel
Three RS-232 external control ports (Communication Ports) are available on TuneBase
200 so that you can add Control and Audio Distribution systems from other
manufacturers, or an optional Touch Panel from Escient Convergence.
The supported Control and Audio Distribution systems for TuneBase 200 are AMX and
Crestron with additional equipment support to follow.*
The RS-232 cable needed to connect TuneBase 200 to any of these models is dependent
upon the model’s RS-232 pin configuration, and therefore the cable may have to be
custom-made. In most cases this will be a DB-9 Null Modem Cable (please refer to
Appendix A).
!
Find the RS-232 pin configuration for your Control System model in Appendix
A of this manual.
"
Contact a Custom Cable Supplier to make a cable for your particular
configuration.

Port.
