INSTALLING THE HARDWARE
What you connect to the VI24 will depend on whether you are programming it away from its intended application or
programming it where it will actually be used.
REQUIRED CONNECTIONS
To set up the VI24, the unit must be powered on with the PC port connector attached to an available COM port on the
PC. (See the SERIAL PORT HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE section for details on wiring your own serial cable.) The
PC must have the VI24 software installed.
To use the VI24, it must be powered on with the LecNet expansion connector attached to an AM8 or AM16 Mixer, and
the Logic Outputs connected to the video switcher or other device(s) being controlled.
OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS
When setting up the VI24, it can be helpful to have the LecNet expansion port connected. That way, the VI24 software
can detect the LecNet addresses and types of the mixers for you, and you can fine-tune your setup by actually
speaking into the microphones and watching the display.
When using the VI24, it may be desirable to have a PC connected so you can monitor the VI24’s activity.
