Default USD to PT6 interface

Hey, can I use a KeyspanUSA82X serial port to interface Protools with a USD? (universal slave driver) It doesn't seem to be working.

thx

John

USD is used to get external clock in and convert it to 256x superclock used by MIX interfaces. For more information google "USD User Guide"

Well, all these years, the USD, as I understand it, had been connected to my G4 via the digiserial port. Now, because I have changed to a later G4 model, I am attempting to employ the Keyspan serial port.

I read the USD manual, but I am confused as to whether the USD should be connected to the Keyspan serial port or the serial port on the Mix card itself. I have the manual, but as I say, the instructions are a bit confusing.

Just keep using digiserial, leave the normal serial port for machine control.
