Communication Settings 
Establishing communications is an essential step when setting up the control 
system. Once communications are established with the control system, you can 
upload programming, update firmware, and use all the diagnostic tools available 
in Crestron Toolbox. 
Communications can be established using a serial (RS-323) connection, or by 
using a TCP/IP connection.  For additional connection details, refer to 
“Establishing Communications with the Control System” in the latest version of 
the 2-Series Control Systems Reference Guide, Doc. 6256. 
The following connections are unique to the QM-RMCRX-BA. 
Serial Connection  
Connect the COM B port on the QM-RMCRX-BA 
control system to one of the COM ports (usually 
COM 1) on the PC. The QM-RMCRX-BA requires 
the use of a null-modem RS-232 cable with DB9 
female connectors on both ends. Most c
available cables are acceptable; they should have at 
least five pins for transmit, receive, ground, and 
hardware handshaking (pins 2, 3, 5, 7 and 8).
