5.1Connecting to the VS-88DTP via RS-232

You can connect to the VS-88DTPvia an RS-232 connection using, for example, a PC. Note that a null-modem adapter/connection is not required.

To connect to the VS-88DTPvia RS-232:

•Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel port on the VS-88DTPunit 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
