2. Connect the RS 232 9 pin D sub port on the unit via a crossed cable only pin 2 to pin 3 pin 3 to pin 2 and pin 5 to pin 5 need be connected to the RS 232 9 pin D sub port on the PC Note There is no need to connect any other pins Figure 4 Crossed Cable RS 232 Connection Hardware flow control is not required for this unit In the rare case where a controller requires hardware flow control short pin 1 to 7 and 8 and pin 4 to 6 on the controller side 5 4 5 4 1 Method B Figure 5 Connect the RS 232 9 pin D sub port on the unit via a straight flat cable to the null modem adapter and connect the null modem adapter to the RS 232 9 pin D sub port on the PC The straight cable usually contains all nine wires for a full connection of the D sub connector Because the null modem adapter which already includes the flow control jumpering described in Method A above only requires pins 2 3 and 5 to be connected you are free to decide whether to connect only these 3 pins or all 9 pins Null Modem Adapter Figure 5 Straight Cable RS 232 Connection with a Null Modem Adapter Connecting the VP 725N via the ETHERNET port You can connect the VP 725N via the Ethernet using a crossover cable see Section 5 4 1 for direct connection to the PC or a straight through cable see Section 5 4 2 for connection via a network hub or network router See Section 7 3 for Ethernet configuration Co
