You can control the K2 system with remote control devices and software developed
for the K2 system that use industry-standard serial protocols: AMP, BVW, and
VDCP. (AMP protocols can also use Ethernet connections.) You can connect one
RS-422 cable to each channel. Each RS-422 connection controls the channel to which
it is connected only. Connect the RS-422 cabling as required, then refer to the K2
AppCenter User Manual to configure the K2 system for remote control.
Specifications for the RS-422 connection are as follows:
• Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
• 38.4K Baud
• 1 Start bit
• 8 Data bits
• 1 Parity bit
• 1 Stop bit
Security and protocol control
The K2 security features can be configured to restrict protocol control of channels.
Refer to
“Protocol control of channels and media access security” .
