Installation and Setup
4.6.2 Remote Terminal Connection
The remote terminal is connected to the rear of the Digital Sonifier through an industry-typical
RS-23 2 co nnect io n. See
Back Panel of Digital Sonifier
on page 2-8 for the RS-232 connector
location. The RS-232 connector pin-out is provided below; the connection only supports three
data leads (Ground, RxD and TxD) and does not support handshaking (see
Remote Computer or
Terminal
on page 6-34 for other Setup information). The serial connection requires a straight-
through cable with a 9-pin DB9 male connector with the following leads supported; the remote
end of the cable should match your Remote Terminal device.
The other leads of the RS-232 connector (DB9F) are not supported.
The remote terminal connection should not exceed a 50 foot (15 meters) cable length using
conventional data cabling.
4.6.3 Terminal Connection
A Terminal is a display option that is a vailable through Branson. The terminal is used as a

with the RS-232c serial port of the Digital Sonifier, its configuration options must be set to
match those of the Digital Sonifier’s output.
