Europlex Universal Interface Card (EUIC) 11-5
CONNECTING THE EUIC TO THE PC
To connect the EUIC to the PC
1 Use a null modem cable with a 9-way female termination on the EUIC end.
2 Insert the female end into Port 2 (J3) on the EUIC.
3 Ensure that the correct PC comms port is selected and its communications settings match that of the EUIC host port
settings. Otherwise, no communications will take place between the PC and EUIC. For further information, see
“Default Setup” on page 11-9.
4 Start the EUIC programming software package and modify the PC communications settings to match that of the
EUIC host port settings.
It is suggested that these settings are left at the default settings unless they have to be changed for interfacing with a
video multiplexer.
5 Open the comms port on the PC and press the Reset button on the EUIC.
The software version and current settings are displayed on the PC if communications are properly set up.
6 If unreadable text or no text is displayed, then either the comms port is not correctly connected or the settings are
incorrect. In this case, check the connections and retry.
If this does not resolve the problems, then connect the Default Link. This resets the EUIC comms settings for all the
ports to the default settings.
Alternately try all the different PC communications settings until the correct setting for the EUIC is chosen.
