Epica DGX 16 and Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
To install APDiagnostics using the serial port:
1.
Attach a null modem serial cable without hardware flow control to the Control (DB-9 serial) port on
the Epica DGX 16 or 32. Use a null modem cable that matches the pin diagram below for RS-232.
AMX AutoPatch equipment requires pins 2, 3, and 5 only.
2. Attach the other end of the null modem cable to a PC.

set correctly for the system. The recommended (default) settings for
serial communication for Epica DGX 16 and 32 systems are provided in
the table to the right.

Index.html file.
