Detect connection to RS232-A port from a remote LAN connection without disturbing the communication between RS232-A and RS232-B When the VSA-31-IP is used to add IP capability to a classroom equipped with Hall Research Switch-Cat® system, it is inserted in the RS-232 path between the VSA-31 Receiver and the Projector. -

Page 7: Installation
Model VSA-31-IP 2. Installation 2.1 Connecting the Unit Refer to Figure 1 and 2 below for connector identification. Connect the “RS232-A” and the “RS232-B” ports to the serial devices using appropriate cables (for example, since the VSA-31 Receiver has a DB9 Male connector, a Female/Female RS-232 NULL Modem cable should be used). -
Page 8: Connector Pin Out
RS-232-B Connector: This 9-pin D-sub connector is normally used to connect to the “Controller” device, such as a VSA-31 Receiver (though any serial device is acceptable). This connector can also be used to power the VSA-31-IP unit. The power source must be capable of 12-15 vDC @ 250 mADC minimum. -

Address of the VSA-31-IP on Port 1001. This communication can be monitored using a HyperTerminal TCP connection. The baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits of the VSA-31-IP unit must match the settings of the devices communicating on the RS-232-A and RS-232-B ports. -

LAN must have the same settings for the communication to be meaningful. There is a 3 minute time limitation in this state before the VSA-31-IP unit will change automatically to the default (RS-232-A to/from RS-232-B) path. 4.3 RS-232-B to/from LAN... - Page 13 Model VSA-31-IP The following table shows the different configurations possible using the VSA- 31-IP unit’s P0, P1 and P8 lines.
