Connecting a VP-128H Matrix Switcher

5.2 Controlling via RS-232 (for example, using a PC)

You can connect a PC to the RS-232 port of the VP-128Hunit, with or1 without using a Null-modem adapter (provided with the machine):

To connect a PC to the VP-128Hunit, using the Null-modem adapter provided with the machine:

￿￿Connect the RS-232 DB9 rear panel port on the VP-128Hunit to the Null-modem adapter and connect the Null-modem adapter with a 9 wire flat cable to the RS-232 DB9 port on your PC

To connect a PC to the VP-128Hunit without using a Null-modem adapter:

￿￿Connect the RS-232 DB9 port on your PC to the RS-232 DB9 rear panel port on the VP-128Hunit, as Figure 4 illustrates (depending on whether the PC has a 9-pin or 25-pin connector)

Figure 4: Connecting a PC without using a Null-modem Adapter

1 The construction of the RS-232 I/O includes internal jumpers that allow the VP-128H to require an external null modem or use a generic pin-to-pin 9 pin cable to a PC with no Null-modem adapter
