You can connect any of the following:
• Two VS-162V units, using a null-modem adapter (see section
9.1.1 ) or without using a null-modem adapter (see section 9.1.2 )
• The 9-pin D-sub COM port of a PC to a VS-162V unit with a
null-modem adapter (see section 9.1.3 ) or without a null-modem
adapter (see section 9.1.4 )
• The 25-pin D-sub COM port of a PC to a VS-162V unit with a
null-modem adapter (see section 9.1.5 ) or without a null-modem
adapter (see section 9.1.6 )
9.1.1 Connecting Two Units with a Null-Modem Adapter
To connect two VS-162V units, using a null-modem adapter provided
with the machine (default):
1. Connect a flat cable

2. On the second VS-162V unit, set DIP 7 OFF (enabling null-modem
adapter use).
between the RS-232 OUT 9-pin D-sub port on the first
VS-162V unit and the null-modem adapter that attaches to the RS-232 IN 9-
pin D-sub port on the second VS-162V unit.
9.1.2 Connecting Two Units without a Null-Modem Adapter
To connect two VS-162V units, without using a null-modem adapter:
1. Connect a flat cable
