RS-232 Serial Interface

The RS232 Communication Interface (CI-RS232) provides a simple means of interface between Touche’s primary network and virtually any other third party device (i.e. audio/video systems) capable of communicating with “string” commands via an RS232 serial connection.
This interface utilizes Touche’s standard non-licensed system configuration software to configure this module. This eliminates complicated procedures and additional steps when configuring this powerful device.
A standard 9-pin D style female socket is utilized for connection to third party devices.
This interface allows for input and output messaging. Messages from third party devices are able to “trigger” a pre-programmed event within the Touche network and likewise messages representing events in the Touche network are able to generate an action in the third party device.
Connection to Touche’s network is accomplished using a standard Cat 5 cable. This device can be daisy-chained with all other devices on the primary network. Control power for the module is derived from the same Cat 5 Cable.
Configuration of the various RS232 serial communication parameters is completely software configurable for adaptability to nearly any third party device.
