Connecting to the VP-690 via RS-232
You can connect to the
VP-690
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-690
via RS-232, connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel
port on the
VP-690
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.

Controlling via the ETHERNET
You can connect the
VP-690
via the Ethernet, using a crossover cable (see
Section
6.4.1
) for direct connection to the PC or a straight through cable (see

Section
)
for connection via a network hub or network router.
After connecting the Ethernet port, you have to install and configure
your Ethernet Port. For detailed instructions, see the “Ethernet
Configuration (FC-11) guide.pdf” file in the technical support section
on our Web site.
