5.2Connecting to the VP-1608 via RS-232

You can connect to the VP-1608via an RS-232 connection using, for example, a PC. Note that a null-modem adapter/connection is not required.

To connect to the VP-1608via RS-232:

Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel port on the VP-1608unit 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

5.3Connecting a PC or Controller to the RS-485 Port

You can operate the VP-1608via the RS-485 port from a distance of up to 1200m (3900ft) using any device equipped with an RS-485 port (for example, a PC). For successful communication, you must set the RS-485 machine number and bus termination.
