NDS DID Control

You can control the DID from the NDS using the DID's RS232 interface.

First, connect the DID units to each other using their RS232 In/Out ports, then prepare a USB-to-RS232 converter.

USB to RS232 Converter

The products verified through testing are the KW-925 and KW-725F.

KW-925

NM-C9FF

Since the RS-232 cable typically provided with the DID unit is of the male type, a DB9 F/F gender changer is required when using the KW-925.

KW-725F

This product features a female connector.

Some USB-to-RS232 converters may not be compatible.

Depending on the DID manufacturer and the specific converter used, you may need to cross-connect the TX and RX lines.

Connect the cable so that the signal enters the RS232 input port of the DID.

Connect the USB end to one of the NDS ports.
