RS-232 CONTROL
For control using serial communication from a control system, wire the RS-232 output of the control system to the VMX-16 RS-232 DB9 connector.
•
Baud rate: 9600, Data bit: 8, Stop bit: 1, Parity bit: none
•
DB9 Pinout: Transmit: Pin 2, Receive: Pin 3, Ground: Pin 5
TCP/IP - GUI CONTROL
For control using TCP/IP protocol from an RTI control system or the web GUI, wire the Ethernet port of VMX-16 TCP/IP connector to the LAN set to the same
network segment. NOTE: IP and gateway can be changed as needed.
•
Default IP: 192.168.0.178 • Subnet Mast: 255.255.255.0 • Gateway: 192.168.0.1 • Serial Port: 4001
