You can connect a PC (or other controller) to the

VP-2x2 via the RS-232 port

for remote control, and for upgrading the firmware.
To connect a PC to a

VP-2x2 unit, using the Null-modem adapter provided

with the machine (recommended):

Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel port on the

VP-2x2 unit to the

Null-modem adapter and connect the Null-modem adapter with a 9-wire

flat cable to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC

To connect a PC to a

VP-2x2 unit, without using a Null-modem adapter:

Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC to the RS-232 9-pin

D-sub rear panel port on the

VP-2x2 unit, forming a cross-connection

, as
