Technical Specifications

6.5Hardware Mode

In Hardware mode, the:

RS-232 data is passed from any input to all outputs

VP-14xlroutes the reply from the output port defined by the DIP-switches 2, 3 and 4 (see Section 6.2). For reliable operation, only one port should be defined

6.6Software Mode

In Software mode, the VP-14xlroutes the data and reply based on the Protocol 2000 commands received from the PC or other device connected to any of the inputs (RS-232, RS-485 or USB), see Section 8.

Note: Only one reply port can be opened at a time. It is possible to open multiple direct ports but only one reply port can be open at a time.

This means that if port1 is currently open and you then open port2, the port 1 is automatically closed. If you then open port 1 again, port 2 is automatically closed. In this way it is possible to close all reply ports, as well as all direct ports.
