RS-232 Connectivity
Serial Port Configuration
The enhanced serial port on the Vista-32FBPT operates at a speed of 9600bps. Earlier Vista-32FB panels used a speed of
1200bps. (Please note that 1200bps option has been deleted and is no longer supported on Vista-32FBPT.) Depending on
your application, you may need to adjust the configuration of your printer, home automation system or external software
package to match the new faster speed. Consult the documentation for your external hardware or software for directions
on how to do this. In some cases you may need to contact the vendor of this external hardware or software for an update
patch or new driver.
Serial Port Connections
The J2 connector is no longer used for direct connect, serial printer or home automation applications. On Vista-32FBPT
panels, there are two methods of connecting to the serial (printer/automation) port:
NOTE: TB4 and J13 support WIN-PAK and Pro-Watch, however if you want to connect to a printer you must use TB4
in order to get printer DSR supervision ("Printer Off Line").
Using flying leads from terminal block TB4 to a 9- or 25-pin serial connector.
Plugging the VT-SERCBL cable into header J13. This connector terminates in a 9-pin serial connector. To connect this to
a PC, you must use a standard straight through serial cable with a 9-pin connector on the panel end and the appropriate
connector for your PC on the other end.
The TB4 method is intended for permanent wiring, e.g. when connecting to WIN-PAK or Pro-Watch. The J13 method is
ideal for direct-connect programming, where the serial connection being made is only temporary.
When connecting via TB4, observe the TB4 pin configuration shown on the Summary of Connections label.
