2.3.3.3 VR-Link/Vector
Connection
Connect the VR-Link to the Vector
transmitter using one of the following
options (see Figure 2-4):
1. RS-232: The simplest solution is to
connect the VR-Link directly to the
Vector series transmitter using a
straight through 9-pin M-F D-sub
cable (not provided). Connect the
female end of the cable to the
Vector’s RS-232 connector located on
its remote interface PWB. Connect the
male end of the cable to the RS-232
connector on the back of the VR-Link.
RS-232 connections have a maximum
length of 15 m. This type of
connection should only be used if the
VR-Link is located close or in the
same room as the Vector transmitter.
NOTE
For RS-232 operation, jumpers E1 and E2
on A1 must be set in the RS-232 position.
See Figure 8-4.
2. RS-422:
Using a straight through 9-
pin M-F D-sub cable (not provided)
connect the male end of the cable to
the Vector’s RS-422 connector
located on its remote interface PWB.
Connect the female end of the cable
to the RS-422 connector on the back
of the VR-Link.
RS-422 connections have a maximum
length of 1,000 m.
NOTE
For RS-422 operation, jumpers E1 and E2
on A1 must be set in the RS-422 position.
See Figure 8-4.
3. Modem: An optional modem (Nautel
Part # UW66) can be installed in the
VR-Link and configured for either dial-
up or leased line operation. Connect a
dedicated leased line jack or regular
phone jack (depending on your setup)
to the VR-Link modem jack on the
back of the VR-Link using a standard
phone cord.
This type of connection requires that
the modem option be purchased for
the Vector series transmitter. The
transmitter’s modem must also be
setup as either dial-up or leased line.
