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 3025SW are found on the breakout panels that
are connected to AUX I/O 1 and AUX I/O 2. See section 2.9.4 for details.
Serial 1 (DB1 on breakout panel): This port would typically be used for serial upstream router control.
However, since the 3025SW does not use an upstream router this can be used for another purpose.
Q-Link 1 (not used for 3025SW): This port does not exist on the 3025SW and must be set to “no
protocol”.
IMPORTANT: Q-Link1 and Q-Link2 are not supported on the 3025SW 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 (not used for 3025SW): This port would be used to connect Evertz based routers using
Qlink to a 3025EMC. 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. However, since the 3025SW does not use an upstream router this
can be used for another purpose.
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.
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 3025SW 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.
