Series 4 Contoller and Vision 9 Software Installation
In the following sections, equipment and Vision software installation will be outlined. There are three
connection configurations possible to the VR48's On-board Series 4 Controller.
The first is a direct cable connection of the VR48 to your computer via the network port. There is a
special "crossover" cable supplied for this connection type. This configuration is for a stand alone
computer that is NOT connected to a WIRED network or internet. The Controller can be connected to a
computer that is connected to a wireless network in this manner.
The second configuration is for connection to the VR48 through a wired network using a standard
network cable (DO NOT use the crossover cable when connecting to a network). In this configuration,
the machine will be recognized as a network device. Connection to the VR48 in this manner is the
easier of the two connection types. If there are no network connections available, a network hub can be
added to allow connection of the VR48 to your network.
The third configuration is for a connection from the computer to a hub (or router) and then to the VR48.
This is WITHOUT a computer network. Standard Ethernet cables are used in this configuration.
Please call your distributor or the service department at Vision for assistance if you are having problems
making these connections.
