8.3.2 Connecting to the VP-773A via RS-232
You can connect to the VP-773A via an RS-232 connection using, for example, a
PC. Note that a null-modem adapter/connection is not required.
To connect to the VP-773A via RS-232, connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel
port on the VP-773A unit via a 9-wire straight cable (only pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3,
and pin 5 to pin 5 need to be connected) to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC.
8.3.3 Connecting the VP-773A via the ETHERNET Port
You can connect to the VP-773A via Ethernet using either of the following methods:
Directly to the PC using a crossover cable (see Section 8.3.3.1)
Via a network hub, switch, or router, using a straight-through cable (see
Section 8.3.3.2)
Note: If you want to connect via a router and your IT system is based on IPv6,
speak to your IT department for specific installation instructions.
8.3.3.1 Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a PC
You can connect the Ethernet port of the VP-773A directly to the Ethernet port on
your PC using a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.
After connecting the VP-773A to the Ethernet port, configure your PC as follows:
1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.
2. Click Change Adapter Settings.
3. Highlight the network adapter you want to use to connect to the device and
click Change settings of this connection.
The Local Area Connection Properties window for the selected network
adapter appears as shown in Figure 30.
