DMS26 – BvNET Technical brochure V 1.0 3

3. Remote control via a PC

The APG DMS26 system processor may be remotely

controlled in two different ways:

- Via the onboard RS232 port

This is an end-to-end link which only allows for the

connection of a single device to the PC

- Via the BvNet network (optional)

BvNet is a high speed digital networking technology to

enable the remote control and monitoring of APG

DMS26 processors.

BvNet utilises a CAT5 cable to link up to 119 devices on

a simple network structure that does not require any

external equipment such as a patchbay.

DMS26 processors may be “daisy-chained” to each other

via the “link” output to the “In” input using standard rigid

CAT5 network cables with RJ45 connectors.

However, for mobile applications we recommend the use

of a dedicated flexible cable (such as the AUDIOLAN 4P10

from the CAE Group) and Neutrik “Ethercon” connectors.

Rigid cables and RJ45 connectors are better suited to fixed

installations and internal rack cabling.

5. Accessories

BVNETCARD

Optional BvNet card

This card plugs into the extension slot on the back of the

DMS26 and enables BvNet network functionality.

It is furnished with two Ethercon Neutrik connection points

(sockets) and two LEDs for testing the incoming and

outgoing signals and as a visual reference for network

activity.

The card is easily installed by removing the blank plate and

screwing the BvNet card (screws provided) into its place

and plugging the multipin connector into the I/O card. Full

instructions and photos are provided as part of the

installation kit.
