Connect PC and M40/M46. Connect a PC's RS-232C control output to the M40/ M46's RS-232C input. You can then connect the RS-232C output from the M40/M46 to another M40/M46's RS-232C input. Up to 26 monitors can be connected using RS-232C. 2. Set Monitor ID and IR Control mode. For proper operation, the Monitor ID should be set in the OSM menu of each monitor that is in the chain. The Monitor ID can be set under the "MULTI DISPLAY" menu in the OSM. The Monitor ID number can be set within a range from 1 to 26. No two monitors should share the same Monitor ID number. It is recommended to number each monitor in a daisy chain sequentially from 1. The first monitor in the daisy chain is designated as the primary monitor. Subsequent monitors with the chain are secondary monitors. In the "MULTI DISPLAY" menu on the first monitor in the RS-232C daisy chain set the "IR CONTROL" to "PRIMARY".
