Crestron qm-ae Manuel D’Utilisation

QuickMedia™ Audio Extractor 

 

Crestron QM-AE 

NOTE: For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port, Crestron 
recommends the use of PCMCIA cards, rather than USB-to-serial adapters. If a 
USB-to-serial adapter must be used, Crestron has tested the following devices 
with good results: 

 

Belkin (large model) F5U103 

 

I/O Gear GUC232A (discontinued) 

 

Keyspan USA-19QW (discontinued) 

Other models, even from the same manufacturer, may not yield the same results. 

NOTE: Even with these recommended models, results may vary on the 
computer being used. 

The procedure in this section provides details for RS-232 communication 
between the PC and the control system. If TCP/IP communication is preferred, 
consult the latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052) 
or the respective Operations Guide for the control system. These documents are 
available from the Crestron website. Refer to the following figure for a typical 
connection diagram when uploading files. 

NOTE: Connection to a QM processor requires a null modem serial cable. 
Connection to a 2-Series processor requires a straight through serial cable. 

 

1.  Ensure that all devices are connected to the control processor and the 

control processor is connected via serial cable to the PC. 

2.  Open Crestron Toolbox and click Tools | Manage Address Book to 

display the communications settings. Enter the new address name, and 
then click RS-232 as the connection type.
