Close the inner shield. Insert the outer shield into the grooves of the connector. Refer to Figure 5b and c.
10. Close the outer shield until the tabs snap over the tabs on the inner shield. Refer to Figure 5d.
11. Slide the ferrule until it covers the end of the closed shields. Crimp the ferrule’s larger end to the cable.
12. Assemble the connector needed for the printer’s
or
connector, referring to Table
Note that

13. Connect the assembled connector to the chosen
or 25-pin) connector on the serial line printer.
Connect the
of the cable to jack J5 on the V1422. Refer to Figure 3 on page 9.
Host Computer Connections
The Vi422 can communicate with a computer through RS-232 jack J6 using commands as described in
NOVA
Computer
X678 or using Vicon’s
Graphic
Command and Control software. Using either of these methods, the configuration file may be sent to or
retrieved from a computer. As discussed in
NOVA VI422 CPU-Based
and
X834
a configuration file defines the CCTV components, expected responses, and
user preferences to the control system. Using the
software, a configuration file may be developed
from user-friendly graphic screens. This information may then be sent to the Vi422 via the RS-232 jack J6 on
the V1422 rear connector panel. This is an alternative method to creating a configuration file using the Vi422
menu-driven software discussed in
NOVA VI422
and
The computer connected to jack J6 is referred to as the “host” computer.
The steps in this section should only be performed if the commands listed in
NOVA
Computer
be transmitted without using
software.
