V883 INSTALLATION MANUAL
Control Connections - VIA!NET
Use the VIA!NET ports when controlling the V883 with ELAN VIA! Touch Panels,
VIA!SC-4 Serial Controller, VIA!2-SS1 System Station and other VIA!NET devices.
Use of this method ensures highly reliable control signal integrity and removes the
possibility of IR signal “collision” whereby simultaneous IR commands cancel each
other. The VIA!NET ports on the V883 can be daisy-chained between chassis and
other VIA!NET devices.
Use an ELAN C4545 RJ-45 to RJ-45 interconnect cable to make all VIA!NET con-
nections. If the cable assembly is to be custom made, refer to the pin-out diagram
below.
