RS-232 Commands

Overview

In order to use the RS-232 serial interface to attach a high-end controller (such as a PC) to the VS1814T / VS1818T, use a serial cable such as a modem cable. The end connecting to the VS1814T / VS1818T should have a 9-pin male connector. Connect this to the serial interface on the rear of the VS1814T / VS1818T. Refer to number 4 on the diagram on page 12.

Note: To configure the controller serial port, see page 10.
