To connect to the VP-771 via RS-232, connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel
port on the VP-771 unit via a 9-wire straight cable (only pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3,
and pin 5 to pin 5 need to be connected) to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC.
8.3.3 Connecting the VP-771 via the ETHERNET Port
You can connect the VP-771 via the Ethernet, using a crossover cable
(see Section 8.3.3.1 ) for direct connection to the PC or a straight through cable
(see Section

) for connection via a network hub or network router.
8.3.3.1 Connecting the ETHERNET Port directly to a PC (Crossover Cable)
You can connect the Ethernet port of the VP-771 to the Ethernet port on your PC,
via a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.
