Controlling the VP-23RC
26
Before using the VP-23RC via a network hub or network router, make sure that:
 The IP number of the machine is defined on the network subnet and that
its number is unique in the local network
 A Firewall is not preventing access to the device
If you need further assistance, contact your system integrator.
8.3.1 Connecting the ETHERNET Port directly to a PC (Crossover Cable)
You can connect the Ethernet port of the VP-23RC to the Ethernet port on your
PC, via a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.
This type of connection is recommended for identification of the factory default
