Note that a null-modem adapter/connection is not required.

To connect to the VP-770 via RS-232, connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel

port on the VP-770 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.

8.5 Connecting the VP-770 via the ETHERNET Port

You can connect the VP-770 via the Ethernet, using a crossover cable

(see Section 8.5.1) for direct connection to the PC or a straight through cable (see

Section 8.5.2) for connection via a network hub or network router.

8.5.1 Connecting the ETHERNET Port directly to a PC (Crossover Cable)

You can connect the Ethernet port of the VP-770 to the Ethernet port on your PC,

via a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.
