The data is transferred between the CM16a and the amplifier using a HD 15 DataPort cable. Monitor data goes from the amplifier to the CM16a and the control data goes from the CM16a to the amplifier. Communication between the Controller (PC) and the CM16a is accomplished via a CAT5 cable with RJ45 connections. If a switch/hub is being used, a standard straight through cable is needed. However, if the CM16a is connected directly to the PC, a cross-over cable must be used.
