6.5.2 Connecting via a Network Hub, Switch, or Router
You can connect the Ethernet port of the VP-16x18AK to the Ethernet port
on a network hub, switch, or router, via a straight-through cable with RJ-45
connectors. The VP-16x18AK Ethernet port has to be configured to be
compatible with your network (see
Section 6.5.3 ).
6.5.3 Configuring the Ethernet Port on the VP-16x18AK Using
K-Upload

6.6 Setting the RS-485 Termination and Machine Number DIP-
switches
.
This section describes the VP-16x18AK DIP-switch settings that determine
the machine number and RS-485 bus termination.
Figure 8 illustrates the factory default DIP-switch positions. A switch in the
up position is off. To turn a switch on, push it down.

Number
Function
1, 2, 3 RS-485 Machine number (see Table 4 )
Default—All off, machine number 1
4 RS-485 Termination
Default—Off
DIP-switches 1, 2 and 3 determine the RS-485 machine number for the
VP-16x18AK. When several VP-16x18AK units are connected, the
machine number determines the unique identity of the VP-16x18AK in the
sequence (see
Table 4 ).
