Connecting and Configuring the VP-16x18AK

• When using a stand-alone VP-16x18AK unit set the machine number

to 1 (factory default)

• When connecting more than one VP-16x18AK set the first machine

(connected via RS-232) to be machine number 1. The other

VP-16x18AK units must each be set to a unique machine number

between 2 and 8.

others must be unterminated. Moving the DIP-switch up turns the

termination off (default), moving the switch down turns the termination on.
