Ross® Remote Aux Panel
This setup information applies to the legacy Remote Aux Panels.
Cable Connections
The device connects to the switcher over an RS-232 serial connection to a DB9 port on the switcher and an RJ-12 port on the device. You can use a DeviceMaster® to connect to Remote Aux panel if you are using a Acuity Rack Panel. Substitute the DeviceMaster® pinouts for those of the control panel.

Switcher Setup
The switcher must be set up to communicate with the auxiliary control panel for command and mnemonic names (when required) separately. This requires one net port for the command communications and a second port for mnemonic names.
Note: You may have to set up the RCP first to be able to connect to it from the switcher.
