Every output module also has one USB connector, into which you may connect a mouse,
keyboard, or USB flash memory for a software upgrade or data backup. The diagram below
shows the USB connector, between various LED indicators and the Select button, on the
output cards’ front edge. See

for more information on the Select button.
Note:
The two RS-422 ports on the multiviewer side have no ground pin.
Using the appropriate DE-9S-to-RJ-45 adapter, an external device should be
able to communicate with a multiviewer despite the lack of a ground.
