To connect an RS-485 connector on one VS-162V unit to an RS-485
connector on one or more other switchers (from the series of 16x16 matrix
switchers), as
Figure 16 illustrates:
1. Connect the “+” PIN on the first VS-162V unit to the “+” PIN on the
second VS-162V unit or other unit
2. Connect the “-” PIN on the first VS-162V unit to the “-” PIN on the second
VS-162V unit or other unit
3. If shielded cable is used for an RS-485 connection, connect the shield to the
Ground PIN.
For details about how to configure the vertical sync (if required), refer to
