Detailed explanation of the “Connect” page
The most frequent source of error in communication between the PC remote software and
the DCX2496 hardware are wrong settings of DCX2496 parameters DEVICE ID and PORT
on the hardware (described above) as well as incorrect usage of the PC software in
CONNECT menu (described below).
“Communications Port” & “?Search DCX2496s”
• On the top left you can select “Communications Port” (mostly COM 1 or 2,
depending on your computer). Your DCX2496(s) should appear in the big
white panel under “Recognized Devices.”
• If your DCX2496(s) were not found, you can click on “?Search DCX2496s”
on the top right. Your DCX2496s should now appear under “Recognized
Devices.”
TIP: If you wish to use the RS-485 connection on your computer, it is also
recognized as a COM-port and appears in the “Communications Port” pull-
down menu!
WARNING: If you wish to use the RS-485 connection, you need a true
RS-485 card! A standard network card (like in many laptops) will not work
correctly (no RS-485 protocol!), even if the port connection looks similar!
