Serial Communication Properties
There are two Serial Communication Ports for analogue telephone line or digital line connection
for communications with VideoCentral. Modems are used for analogue line (PSTN) connections
and terminal adaptors (TA) for digital lines (ISDN). The COMMS 1 port is fitted with a 25-pin D
male connector. The COMMS 2 port is a 9-pin D male (refer to Table 3).
Note: The COMMS 2 port can be used for direct connections to a PC for local setup and
for software upgrades. A Null Modem driver is provided in the VideoCentral
installation CD.
Refer to Tech-Tip 11460 – Windows XP SP2 Issues (available on the website:
www.xtralis.com/adpro) for more information on the use of the Null Modem Cable.
The Serial Communications Port 1 Settings and Serial Communications Port 2 Settings
menus allow the operating parameters of the two serial ports to be configured to match the
model of modem or terminal adaptor used.
