Appendix C – Serial / Audio set-up
Serial
No setting up or user adjustments are required. Please note that on the dual
access transmitter model, the serial link is always active. The receiver Unit’s
serial port is wired as DTE (i.e. the same as that on a CPU). To connect a
serial printer (or other DTE rather than DCE device) to the receiver Unit, a
null modem (crossover) cable between the Remote Unit and the printer is
needed. A serial touch-screen may be plugged directly into the Remote Unit.
The serial interface transmits/receives six signals (3 signals in each
direction). Normally four of these signals are used for hardware
handshaking (in addition to Tx & Rx). However, because each handshaking
line can support signals up to 19,200 Baud it is possible to configure the
serial interface to handle up to three simple 2-wire (Tx/Rx only) serial links.
To do this you will need to construct a custom breakout cable. Please
contact technical support for further information. Select Xon/Xoff software
flow control on the printer and CPU.
The serial / audio model CAT5 transmitter and receiver must be installed to
use the serial/audio features. Connect a DB9F to DB9M cable from your
computer’s DB9M serial connector to the DB9F connector on the local
transmitter. Connect your remote serial device directly to the DB9M
connector on the remote receiver.
Audio
The audio interface is line-level and is designed to take the output from a
sound card (or other line-level) source and be connected to a set of
powered speakers at the other end of the link. Stereo audio may be
transmitted either way across the link (simultaneously). No setup is required
unless a microphone is connected to the Remote Unit. Connect up as
follows:
 Take the line-level output from your sound card (green connector) and
connect to ‘Line In’ on the extender.
 A set of powered speakers may be connected directly to ‘Line Out’ at the
opposite end of the link.
