VP-311DVI - Connecting the VP-311DVI 11
adapter to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the PC. The straight cable usually
contains all nine wires for a full connection of the D-sub connector. Because the
null-modem adapter (which already includes the flow control jumpering described
in Method A above) only requires pins 2, 3 and 5 to be connected, you are free to
decide whether to connect only these 3 pins or all 9 pins.

4.4 Controlling via the ETHERNET
You can connect to the product via Ethernet using either of the following
methods:

Directly to the PC using a crossover cable (see Section 4.4.1 )

Via a network hub, switch, or router, using a straight-through cable (see
Section 4.4.2 )
Note: If you want to connect via a router and your IT system is based on IPv6,
speak to your IT department for specific installation instructions.
4.4.1 Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a PC
You can connect the Ethernet port of the VP-311DVI directly to the Ethernet port
on your PC using a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.
This type of connection is recommended for identifying the VP-311DVI
with the factory configured default IP address.
After connecting the VP-311DVI to the Ethernet port, configure your PC as follows:
1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.
2. Click Change Adapter Settings.
