Chapter 3 System connections and configuration
RS-422 and COM ports
When you view the Windows Device Manager, the COM ports map to the RS-422
rear panel connectors as in the following illustration:
If your automation software is not controlling channels as you expect, check the COM
ports and verify that the configuration is correct.
AMP TCP Interface
The following table lists the channel designations for the AMP protocol. When using
AMP protocol with Ethernet, channels must always be identified as 'VTR1', 'VTR2',
etc. When using AMP protocol with RS-422, the first channel maps to P1, the second
channel maps to the P2, and so on. To configure AMP protocols, see the K2 Media
Client User Guide.
NOTE: In reference to RS-422 connections, the terms P1, P2, etc., refer to Port 1,
Port 2, and so on. Do not confuse them with player channels P1,P2, etc.
