Installing the RS-232 Controller

In order to use the RS-232 serial interface to attach a high-end

controller (such as a PC) to the VS0108HA, use a serial cable

such as a modem cable. The end connecting to the VS0108HA

should have a 9-pin male connector. Connect this to the serial

interface on the rear of the VS0108HA. Refer to number 4 on the

diagram on page 12.

Note: To configure the controller serial port, see page 14.
