Connecting the Ethernet Port via a Network Hub or Switch 

You can connect the Ethernet port of the 

VS-62H

 

to 

the Ethernet port on a network hub or 

using a straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors. 

Connecting the Remote Contact-closure Switches 

You can connect up to six remote, contact-closure switches per output to control the 

VS-62H

 

remotely. These switches replicate the Input selection buttons on the front panel of the 

VS-62H

. 

Both the INPUT TO OUT 1 and INPUT TO OUT TWO terminal block connectors use the 
ground pin that is next to the RS-232 terminal block connector. 

Figure 7

 illustrates the wiring of the switch connections to the terminal block.
