We recommend the KK Systems USB-485 adapter for simple conversion to RS485. This device is powered via the USB connection and so has the ability to drive long cable runs reliably. This device is available from us, or directly from KK Systems at www. kk-systems. com. The converter comes with a 9-pin D-type fitted as standard ­ this has to be adapted to an XLR connection. To prevent voiding the warranty on the converter, we advise not cutting the 9-pin off, but rather make up an adapter ­ the pin out for this is below. 9-pin D type Pin 4 Pins 3+7 (Brown + Orange) XLR 1 2 Phoenix 1 2 Pins 8+2 (Black + Yellow) 3 3 Remember to set the first unit to SLAVE mode instead of MASTER so it accepts data on the rear Phoenix instead of the USB. Also, the baud rate setting in iCore now must match that of all connected units. See page 14 for how to change this. Operator's Manual DC1048 Integrated Audio Management Page 33 Connect to the first unit via its RS485 socket. To connect to further units, just use standard microphone cable (or similar), come out of the first unit on the Phoenix and simply parallel the three wires to the next device, and so on down the chain as shown in the previous diagram. Laptop or desktop PC running iCORE software monitors and controls all units.

As the RS485 drivers used are "quarter load" devices, the maximum number of nodes that can be connected together is 128, and the maximum theoretical cable length from the first node to the last node is 1000 metres. This distance will be affected by the cable quality and to some extent the operating environment. Page 34 DC1048 Integrated Audio Management Operator's Manual Security and Locking Overview The DC1048 and ICORE both have security systems that allow for local and remote security to be implemented entirely independently. Via the front panel of the unit itself, control may be restricted or entirely prevented. Through ICORE, access to internal unit settings may be restricted though user levels with individual rights given to up to ten users, each with their own username and password. Local Front Panel Locking Pressing the Sys. Lock: SYSTEM button will show the lock options, namely Full Menu Off All front panel functions disabled Only preset recall allowed All access allowed Use the and buttons to choose the required level of lock and press OK The display will show: System Menu:. . . Enter Pin: 0000 with a cursor flashing over the left-most `0'. Use the and buttons to set the digit and press OK to move onto the next digit. After setting the last digit, pressing OK will display [OK] ­ Lock Unit with PIN: 0000 to lock the unit now, press OK, otherwise wait 5 seconds for the menu to drop out, or press another menu button to escape. Once locked (depending on if it's a full or menu lock), pressing any menu key will display Menus Locked!
