Setting the DIP-switches on the VP-14xl

4.Set the Hardware/Software DIP-switch (see Section 6.4) as follows:

In Hardware mode, set the REPLY DIP-switches to determine the unique reply output port (see Section 6.2)

In Software mode, set the machine number (see Section 6.2).

5.Set the serial port baud rate (see Section 6.3).

6.Select the appropriate machine number (see Section 6.2).

7.Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the 5V DC socket and to the mains electricity.

Note: Changing any DIP-switch requires that you either power cycle

the VP-14xlor press the Reset button (see Table 1).

6Setting the DIP-switches on the VP-14xl

Moving a DIP-switch down turns the switch on, moving it up turns the switch off.

DIP-switch #		Function
1		RS-485 termination
2, 3, 4		In Hardware mode: Sets the reply source
		In Software mode: Sets the machine number
5, 6, 7		Sets the serial port baud rate

6.1Setting the RS-485 Bus Termination

DIP-switch 1 sets the RS-485 bus termination. Only the first and last physical device on the RS-485 bus must be terminated, all other devices must be un- terminated.

When the DIP-switch is:

•OFF, the unit is un-terminated (default)

•ON, the unit is terminated
