Connecting and Configuring the VP-16x18AK

6.5.2 Connecting via a Network Hub, Switch, or Router

You can connect the Ethernet port of the VP-16x18AK to the Ethernet port

on a network hub, switch, or router, via a straight-through cable with RJ-45

connectors. The VP-16x18AK Ethernet port has to be configured to be

compatible with your network (see Section

6.5.3

6.5.3 Configuring the Ethernet Port on the VP-16x18AK Using

K-Upload

To configure the Ethernet port on the VP-16x18AK, see the K-Upload

Guide

6.6 Setting the RS-485 Termination and Machine Number DIP-

switches

This section describes the VP-16x18AK DIP-switch settings that determine

the machine number and RS-485 bus termination.

Figure 8 illustrates the factory default DIP-switch positions. A switch in the

up position is off. To turn a switch on, push it down.

Number

Function

1, 2, 3 RS-485 Machine number (see Table 4)

Default—All off, machine number 1

4 RS-485 Termination

Default—Off

DIP-switches 1, 2 and 3 determine the RS-485 machine number for the

VP-16x18AK. When several VP-16x18AK units are connected, the

machine number determines the unique identity of the VP-16x18AK in the

sequence (see

Table 4).
