VSX
™
Editor Program
The VSX processors can be setup and controlled using the VSX Editor which runs on a Windows computer. To
control the VSX, the computer can be connected to the VSX via USB, Ethernet, RS-232 or RS-485. For most
applications, USB or Ethernet will be the preferred solutions.
Connect the computer to the VSX using a USB cable connected to USB jack on the front of the unit.
When connected to the editor, front panel controls are locked out.
Connecting a computer to the VSX via Ethernet.
The VSX processors use a "Static" IP address. Setting the address of the unit and ID# is described in the utility
section of the manual. The Editor must be set the matching IP address and ID# in order to connect.
An Ethernet cable can be connected directly to most computers if only one unit is being controlled. In most
cases you will want to use an Ethernet router or WiFi router.
If the computer is connected before launching the VSX editor software, the software will search for connected
devices. If it does not connect, check to be sure the IP address and device ID# of the unit match the settings in
the editor. Also, make sure the VSX IP address is set in the network range of your computer and router. You can
then click scan or click the offline Icon in the upper right corner of the screen to scan and connect.
