VS-88DVI - Operating the VS-88DVI
Method B—Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the unit via a straight (flat)
cable to the null-modem adapter, and connect the null-modem 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.

Section 6.6.2
) for connection via a network hub or network router.
After connecting the Ethernet port, you have to install and configure your Ethernet Port. For
detailed instructions, see the “Ethernet Configuration (FC-11) guide.pdf” file in the technical
