CONNECTIONS
Refers to the instructions received with the specific Switch Matrix unit(s) for details regarding connecting the
terminals of the 95x to those of the Switch Matrix Units.
RS232 INTERFACE
Using a RS232 cable supplied by Vitrek, connect the RS232 port on the 95x rear panel to the RS232 (Serial) port of
the Vitrek 948i or 964i. The user may supply their own cable, in which case it should be a 9-wire female-female
null modem cable capable of full handshake 115200baud operation.
VICL
Using a VICL cable supplied by Vitrek, connect the VICL – OUT port on the 95x to a Vitrek 964i VICL – IN port. If
using more than one 964i, then connect each additional Vitrek 964i VICL – IN port to the preceding 964i’s VICL –
OUT port. The 964i’s do not need to be wired together in any specific order when using the VICL interface.
CONTROLLING THE 95X BY THE RS232 INTERFACE
NOTE – the RS232 interface can only be used for a single purpose, it cannot be used for both controlling an
