4.9.1. Protocol Settings
4.9.1.1. Port
The combo-box determines the particular port the following parameters relate to.
The six serial ports used by the EMC are found on the breakout panels that are
connected to AUX I/O 1 and AUX I/O 2. See section 2.9.5 for details.
Serial 1 (DB1 on breakout panel): This port would typically be used for serial upstream router control.
Q-Link 1 (not used for EMC): This port does not exist on the EMC and must be set to “no protocol”.
IMPORTANT: Q-Link1 is not supported on the EMC and should be set to “No
Protocol”.
Serial 2 (DB2 on breakout panel): This port is typically used for automation control. The majority of
automation vendors control the EMC by using GVG M2100 Control Protocol with Quartz
extensions.
Q-Link 2 (labelled QLINK on EMC rear IO): This port is used to connect Evertz based routers using
QLink. These routers include EQT, Xenon, 7700R, EQX and SC-2000.
Serial 3 (DB2 on breakout panel): This port is typically using to connect the EMC to non-Evertz routers
and router controllers.
Serial 4 (DB2 on breakout panel): This port can be configured to interface with an EAS device (North
America Only).
The above serial port assignments are suggestions only. Q-Link 2 is fixed
for upstream router
control via Q-Link (serial over coax).
4.9.2. Protocol
This combo-box selects the protocol for the currently selected port. If this port is not in use then assign
the protocol to "No Protocol".
4.9.3. Communications
Mode: The serial ports of the EMC are set to two modes: RS-422 and RS-232. Serial ports 1
and 2 are fixed to RS-422. Serial ports 3 and 4 are fixed to RS-232. Serial port 5 is
RS422 and Serial Port 6 is RS232.
Baud Rate: This sets the baud rate for the port.
