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.

Connecting the VS-88DVI Using Ethernet

You can connect the VS-88DVI via the Ethernet, using a crossover cable (see

Section 6.6.1

) for direct connection to the PC or a straight-through cable (see

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
support section on our Web site:

6.6.1

Connecting the Ethernet Port directly to a PC (Crossover
Cable)

You can connect the Ethernet port of the VS-88DVI to the Ethernet port on your

PC, via a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.

This type of connection is recommended for identifying the

VS-88DVI with the factory configured default IP address.

After connecting the Ethernet port, configure your PC as follows:

1. Right-click the My Network Places icon on your desktop.

2. Select Properties.

3. Right-click Local Area Connection Properties.

4. Select Properties.

The Local Area Connection Properties window appears.

5. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button (see

Figure 6

).
