Controlling via the RS-232 Terminal Block Connectors
Use the RS-232 DATA port for control between VP-440X and the HDBT receiver. To
communicate with the RS-232 port on the HDBT receiver:
• Connect to the Rx and Tx pins on the DATA RS-232 port on VP-440X. Doing this
establishes a hardware link to the receiver’s Tx and Rx signals.
Use the RS-232 CONTROL port to perform the following actions:
• User Control of VP-440X via RS-232 on page 41.
• VP-440X Control of a Device via RS-232 on page 42.
