Two RS-232 serial ports are available on FireBall-MP. You must use COM 2 to control 
FireBall-MP from an external home theater or whole house control system.

FireBall-MP is compatible with AMX and Crestron RS-232 control systems. Additional 
equipment may be supported. Please check the Escient website for an updated list of 
compatible control systems.*

The RS-232 cable needed to connect FireBall-MP to any of these models is dependent 
upon the model’s RS-232 pin configuration, and therefore the cable may have to be 
custom-made. In most cases this will be a DB-9 Null Modem Cable (refer to Appendix 
A). 

u

 

Find the RS-232 pin configuration for your Control System model in Appendix 
A of this manual.

 

v

 

Contact a Custom Cable Supplier to make a cable for your particular 
configuration.

w

 

Connect one end of this cable to the COM 2 port.

x

 

Connect the other end of this cable to the RS-232 communication port on your 
Control System.

manual.
