8.3.3. Sage Decoder Configuration
The Sage provides six serial ports that can be used for a variety of purposes. Each serial port is wired
like a standard PC 9-pin connector. Refer to the Sage manual for specific port pin outs. (They are
contained in section 12 of their manual at the time of this writing.) Plug the female end of the straight-
through RS232 cable into the COM 2 port of the Sage decoder. If this port is already in use, you may
use the COM 6 port.
The Sage port must be configured to output the type of data that the EMC is expecting. To configure the
sage decoder, follow the steps outlined below.
1) Press Menu
2) Scroll down to Devices
3) Press Enter
4) Scroll down to COM2 or COM6 (depending on the COM port you connected to)
5) Press Enter
6) Scroll down to Device Type

8) Scroll down to Generic CGEN
9) Press Enter
10) Enter Password
11) Scroll up to Go Back

Your Sage is now configured to work with the EMC. Proceed to section 8.3.6 to connect the audio and
GPI controls, to configure the EMC and verify that the connections are functioning as expected.
