Qhy5 direct guide port

Hi - When I bought my QHY5 guider camera some time ago I stuck with an original PC guiding connection to my HEQ5Pro mount using a parallel port and interface box with a 6 pin lead to the mount. This is a rather clunky arrangement and I would like to try the direction connection between the QHY5 camera and the HEQ5Pro.
Apart from simply connecting a direct 6 pin cable is there any special precautions/PHD guiding software settings that I need to adopt for this arrangement? Also any comments on the relative merits of these types of connections?
Cheers Peter
