7.1 Connecting to the VS-44HDCP via RS-232
You can connect to the VS-44HDCP via an RS-232 connection using, for
example, a PC. Note that a null-modem adapter/connection is not required.
To connect to the VS-44HDCP via RS-232:

Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel port on the VS-44HDCP 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
7.2 Operating via ETHERNET
You can connect to the VS-44HDCP via Ethernet using either of the following
methods:

Directly to the PC using a crossover cable (see Section 7.2.1 )

Via a network hub, switch, or router, using a straight-through cable (see
Section 7.2.2 )
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.
After connecting the Ethernet port, you have to install and configure your Ethernet Port. For
