4. Interconnect the V/A (video/audio) BUS DB9F connectors between the
VS-402XL/VS-602XL units
1
Figure 11 , as illustrates, using a 9-wire flat cable


Attach the cable’s first DB9M connector to the V/A BUS 9-pin D-sub
connector on the first
VS-402XL / VS-602XL unit
with DB9M connectors, as follows:

Attach the cable’s second DB9M connector to the V/A BUS 9-pin
D-sub connector on the second
VS-402XL / VS-602XL unit

Continue attaching the DB9M connectors to the V/A BUS 9-pin D-sub
connectors on each
VS-402XL / VS-602XL unit, up to and including
the eighth VS-402XL / VS-602XL unit
6. Set the SETUP DIP-switches, as section 6.2 describes. In particular:

Set the first VS-402XL / VS-602XL unit as MACHINE # 1 (when
operating via a PC or serial controller) and the following seven
VS-402XL / VS-602XL units as MACHINE # 2 to MACHINE # 8,
according to Table 4

Set DIP 4 ON on the first and last VS-402XL / VS-602XL units
(terminating the RS-485 line at 120
Ω
). Set Dip 4 OFF on the second
to seventh VS-402XL / VS-602XL units

Set Dip 5 ON on all eight VS-402XL / VS-602XL units (enabling input
expansion)

Set DIP 6 ON on all eight VS-402XL / VS-602XL units (enabling the
Reply option in accordance with Protocol 2000)

Set DIP 7 OFF on all eight VS-402XL / VS-602XL units (as the PC
connects via the RS-232 port)

Set DIP 8 OFF on all eight VS-402XL / VS-602XL units
Note: The output signals at OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2 are the same on all
the cascaded
VS-402XL / VS-602XL units.
1 Ensuring double output signal transmission on outputs 1A and 1B and on outputs 2A and 2B, on 2 combined machines
2 The flat cable should be kept as short as possible to preserve video quality and minimize crosstalk
