Networking multiple devices to a PC: BvNet is the method of connecting multiple devices – these can be controllers
and/or powered TCS loudspeakers – and this is done with the Linea Research USB & RS232 Interface (available from
Turbosound). The interface enables devices to be connected to a PC either using RS232 or using USB. EIA485 is the
network protocol among the networked devices and is carried over CAT5-type cables. Minimum system requirements
are: PC with Pentium processor, Windows NT, 2000, XP, or Vista, CD ROM drive or internet access, RS232 or USB port.
RS232: Connect your computer to the BvNet interface using a standard 9-pin serial cable. External power is required
for RS232 operation and this should be supplied by the Linea Research Accessory Power Supply.
USB: Connect your computer to the BvNet interface using a USB Type A to USB Type B cable. External power is not
required when using USB.
Connect networked devices via RJ45 CAT5 cables.
