Hints and tips about using external interfaces
Always read the manual supplied with the unit for the most detailed information regarding the setup and use of external
remote interfaces.
In the case of special or older interfaces such as MIDI or LAN to serial converters (for example the MOXA N-port
Express) please feel free to email [e-mail]
.
A few things worth remembering about using the RS232 and RS485 interfaces in general:
Maximum recommended cable length for RS232 is 25 feet or 7.5 metres.
Maximum recommended cable length for RS485 is 1000 metres – from the PC to the FINAL device – NOT in between
devices.
If a unit is at FOH or close to the computer, if can be used to perform the RS232 to RS485 conversion for you. The RS485
port from this local unit can then be used to connect to the other units that are not nearby.
If a Wiser wireless link is being used and it sometimes makes more sense for the receiver to be placed at FOH or
somewhere other than the remote units location due to signal strength / line of sight problems.
Purchasing any of these interfaces…
All of the interfaces can be ordered through your local distributor. If you’re not sure who that is, go to
http://www.xta.uk.com/distributors.htm
to find the one nearest you. Alternatively, you can buy one directly from us with a credit card. Just call us and we can
arrange it all over the phone. You will then be sent receipt of purchase and credit card receipt with the interface and
emailed the tracking number of the courier for the package.
