Use the supplied connector to connect the COM port on the host computer with the RS-232C
terminal on the VC-C50i host side using a RS-232C dedicated cable.
For operation of multiple connected VC-C50i units, connect a RS-232C dedicated cable to the
OUT side (next camera side) of the first VC-C50i unit's RS-232C terminal and to the IN side
(host side) of the second VC-C50i unit's RS-232C terminal. Three or more units are connected in
the same way, and up to nine VC-C50i units can be connected.
If a
