You will now notice that there are four new remote ports on the Communications Menu . These ports
will be labelled
A
,
B
,
C
and
D
, corresponding to the Slave Ports on the BSS4, and will start with the
number of the remote port that the BSS4 is connected to.
Communications — Expander Remote Ports
For example, if the BSS4 is connected to Remote Port 1 on the control panel, then the four Extended
Remote Ports will be Remote 1A , Remote 1B , Remote 1C , and Remote 1D .
Connecting Equipment to the Remote Port Expander (BSS4)
When installed, the BSS4 Remote Port Expander gives you four expanded remote ports that you can
connect most of the same serial equipment to as you would any of the standard remote ports.
When connecting serial devices to the BSS4 Remote Port Expander, the following rules apply:
• Devices connected to the BSS4 must use the RS-422 protocol. Those devices that
require RS-232 protocol will require a RS-422 to RS-232 converter.
• Devices that use a Baud rate other that the current rate that the port on the BSS4 is set
for will require programming of the BSS4. Refer to the section “ Programming the
BSS4 for Peripheral Devices ” on page 9-8 for more information on programming the
BSS4.
• Devices that use a Parity other than the current rate that the port on the BSS4 is set for
will require programming of the BSS4. Refer to the section “ Programming the BSS4
for Peripheral Devices ” on page 9-8 for more information on programming the BSS4.
• If you cancel the upgrade procedure of the BSS4 you will have to remove the device
from the
Communications Menu , confirm the removal, and then set up the device
again in order to program the BSS4.
• A device is connected and set up on an expanded BSS4 port in the same manner as it is
on any other remote port on the Synergy Q/MD switcher. You connect the device to the
port on the BSS4, select that port on the
Communications Type Menu and follow the
procedures for connecting that device. If the device used a Baud or Parity that is
different than what the port was set to before, you will have to program the BSS4. Refer
Note
If you attempt to remove the set up for the BSS4 in the
Communications Menu , a warning message will be displayed
indicating the devices, if any, that are still set up on the BSS4.
Important
You cannot control a 360 Systems DigiCart Audio Server from a
remote port on a BSS4. If you want to connect a DigiCart to the
Synergy Q/MD switcher, you will have to use a standard Remote Port.
