Wiring of the Control
PC
and Hardware Settings
The Control
PC
communicates with the
RANPCSW
Media Center computer via a
DB
9-to-
DB
9 cable with the following wiring:

Connect the cable from Com 1 of the Media Center computer to Com 1 of the
Control
PC
. The Control
PC
talks to the Control System via its own Com 2 and Slot
16 of the first
RANCC
16 with a
RAN
232 whose switches are all on (38,400, no
parity, 1 stop bit, 8 data bits). Note that the baud rate of a Control System based on
the
RANCPU
alone is 19,200.
As before, Com 2 of the Media Center
PC
can be connected to the
DB
9 on the
RANCC
16, the
RANEXP
, or the
RANBROAD
. This connection is used for diagnostics,
such as downloading the Control Program, configuring
IR
devices (e.g.,
RANIR
s and
RANCLS
01
CPS
), and running the Send Panel Program.
Software Settings
In the Media Center computer, close the Media Center software. Under the Main
Program group, open the Control Panel and select Ports. Make sure that Port 1 is
set to 19,200, no parity, 1 stop bit, 8 data bits, and no flow control. (The setting for
only an
RANCPU
is the same except that the hardware flow is on.) These settings are
not adjustable in the Control
PC
.
RAN232 Serial Control Card
Man
of the
RANGER
s
stem's devices are controlled via
RS
232 control. In order to
rovide a universal o
eratin
interface for all media devices, the
RANGER
s
stem
emulates these devices' ori
inal remote control units with the
RAN
232, a serial control
card that fits in the
RANCC
16 Control Card Ca
e. Each device controlled via
RS
232
serial commands (e.
.,
RANLASER
,
RANMENU
, and
RANPCSW
Media Center
Com
uter) must have an
RAN
232 card associated with it. Additionall
these cards must
be a
ro
riatel
confi
ured for the communication
arameters of the associated device.
The
RAN
232 card mounts in the
RANCC
16 Control Card Ca
e and re
uires 12
VDC
at
125
mA
power, which is supplied by the
RANCC
16.
