8.4 Connecting to the VP-770 via RS-232
You can connect to the VP-770 via an RS-232 connection using, for example, a PC.
Note that a null-modem adapter/connection is not required.
To connect to the VP-770 via RS-232, connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel
port on the VP-770 unit 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.
8.5 Connecting the VP-770 via the ETHERNET Port
You can connect the VP-770 via the Ethernet, using a crossover cable
(see Section 8.5.1) for direct connection to the PC or a straight through cable (see
Section 8.5.2) for connection via a network hub or network router.
8.5.1 Connecting the ETHERNET Port directly to a PC (Crossover Cable)
You can connect the Ethernet port of the VP-770 to the Ethernet port on your PC,
via a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.
This type of connection is recommended for identification of the
factory default IP Address of the VP-770 during the initial
configuration.
After connecting the Ethernet port, configure your PC as follows:
1. Right-click the My Network Places icon on your desktop.
2. Select Properties.
3. Right-click Local Area Connection Properties.
