RS232
Connect a DB-9 serial cable between V8 chassis #1 and V8 #2 when controlling multiple units using RS-232 serial
communications. Follow this pattern through V8 #4, if applicable.
VIANET
Use the VIANET ports when controlling the V8 with ELAN ELAN Touch Panels, SC-1 Serial Controller, SS1 System
Station and other VIANET 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 VIANET ports on
the V8 can be daisy-chained between chassis and other VIANET devices.
Connect an RJ-45 to RJ-45 interconnect cable from V8 #1 to V8 #2. If the cable assembly is to be custom made,
refer to the pin-out diagram below. Follow this pattern through V8 #4, if applicable.
