Usually the easiest method is to choose the sync source from the first video
machine and then connect all the terminal block connectors, as
Figure 18
illustrates. In this case, set the first machine to select the sync source from the
external sync connector or from the INPUT # 1 connector

. This sync is now
available to the other machines via the RS-485 terminal block connector, as
the examples in
Figure 16 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 illustrate. Select the EXT-
SYS SYNC

on the other machines that receive that sync.
7.8 Controlling via the ETHERNET
You can connect the VS-3232A via the Ethernet, using a crossover cable (see
Section 7.8.1 ) for direct connection to the PC or a straight through cable (see
Section 7.8.2 ) for connection via a network hub or network router

.
7.8.1 Connecting the ETHERNET Port directly to a PC (Crossover Cable)
You can connect the Ethernet port of the VS-3232A to the Ethernet port on
your PC, via a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.
This type of connection is recommended for identification of the factory default
IP Address of the VS-3232A during the initial configuration
After connecting the Ethernet port, configure your PC as follows:
1. Right-click the My Network Places icon on your desktop.
2. Select Properties.
3. Right-click Local Area Connection Properties.
4. Select Properties.
The Local Area Connection Properties window appears.
5. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties Button (see
Figure 19 ).

2 You can also select the immediate switching mode (see Section 9.1 ), in which the switching operation is executed
immediately after receiving the command. This mode is not a glitch free transition
3 After connecting the Ethernet port, you have to install and configure your Ethernet Port. For detailed instructions, see the
“Ethernet Configuration (FC-11) guide.pdf” file in the technical support section on our Web site:
