Introduction
The CM-232 communication module provides an RS-232 interface to almost any RS-232 enabled device. It attaches to an RTI control system such as the TheaterTouch IRF-6 System Interface Module on one end, and a device's DB-9 serial port connector on the other end. The CM-232 is capable of one-way transmission (no receive function is supported) of user-defined character strings. These character strings, as well as the baud rate, parity, and bit structure are programmed using RTI's TheaterTouch Designer software package. The CM-232 can be used with equipment such as video projectors, high-end A/V equipment, security/video camera controllers, lighting systems, and HVAC systems to name a few.

Installation (con't.)
2) If necessary, the DB-9 end of the RS-232 cable can be extended up to 50 feet with an RS-232 extension cable. 3) Insert the 4 conductor mini-plug from the CM-232 control cable into an output port of the IRF-6 System Interface Module or other compatible RTI control system. 4) Use the programming software for your RTI System Controller to set the ASCII strings to use for that output. The ASCII string for each individual command can usually be found in the back of the owner's manual, if not, contact the equipment manufacturer for this information.
