7.2. Comms channel (Page 1)
The Comms page lets you select the communications channel on which the unit, acting as slave, will
send/receive data to/from a controlling PC. Alternatively, you can select the DN9340E unit as a
master to control the network. The master unit not only controls the network but also acts as a slave
unit.
7.2.1 Remote control via a PC
Comms channels 1 to 32 are available that provide up to 64 inputs in a slave network comprising
DN9340E and/or DN9344E units. The units are remotely controlled from a PC using the Elgar Library
Manager and HELIX DN9340E/DN9344E RCS add-in software. For more information on remote
control set ups, see Section 10.

IP address and Subnet mask before selecting the comms channel, see
Section 7.11 for further details.
