Introduction
Normally, one would find our Quick Start at this
location. But to break with tradition and keep us all on our
toes, we thought we'd be different. After all, the Via 10 is
different in that it has no audio connections. Many Via 10
users employ the Via 10 to run Rane's RW 232 devices
over a standard Ethernet LAN. Such users need only read
the Configuring the Via 10 & PC (page Manual-4) and the
RW 232 section under Hardware (page Manual-6) to get
rolling. Those who want the Quick Start need only think of
these two sections as the Quick Start. See, it's not that
different.
This document is organized in four parts. Part one is a
short description of the front and rear panel controls found
on the Via 10 (page Manual-2). Part two is Configuring the
Via 10 & PC (page Manual-4) which explains what the Via

10 Config Utility does. It also reviews the computer setup that
is required so the computer can talk through the Via 10's IP
(Internet Protocol) "language." Part three goes over the
Hardware details of the Via 10's I/O ports (page Manual-6).
Four sections are found: RS-232; RS-485; Versatile Input
Port (VIP); and the Versatile Output Port (VOP). OK, so VIP
and VOP should have been forever retired as cheesy splash
screens from the old Batman TV series. For those who watch
Dilbert, it is true that naming things like this is always the
hardest part of product development. Part four gets into
Microsoft's ActiveX controls and how to use them to control
RW 232 and other parameters (page Manual-9). Part four also
contains the ActiveX Control details of the Via 10 and other
Rane-specific ActiveX controls for our computer-controllable
products.

Page 2: Front Panel Description
RS232 indicator illuminates when there is activity on the Via 10’s RS-232 port. RS485 indicator flashes when there is activity on the Via 10’s RS-485 port. CONFIG button is recessed, only used to set the Via 10’s IP address during initial setup. See Configuring the Via 10 & PC on page Manual-4. -
Page 3: Rear Panel Description
REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION Chassis ground screw & star washer. Since the Via 10 is powered from a remote AC power supply which does not carry chassis ground through to the grounding pin of the AC cord, this screw is provided in case your system does not have another earth grounding means. - Page 4 3. To add TCP/IP to the LAN Adapter, click the ‘Add’ button the Via 10 and the rest of the network. Step three is running in the Network dialog.
