Installation of the VM0808T is simply a matter of connecting the appropriate cables. Refer to the installation diagrams (the numbers in the diagrams correspond to the steps, below), and do the following:

1. Use a VGA/Audio cable to connect the audio/video output ports of the local computer (or other audio/video source) to the VM0808T's Video In port and stereo / balanced Audio In ports.
2. Plug the local display's VGA cable into the VM0808T's Video Out port.
3. Plug the local stereo/balanced audio speakers into the appropriate Audio Out ports.
   Note: If both audio sources are connected, the stereo audio source has priority.
4. If you are using the serial control function, use an appropriate serial cable to connect the computer or serial controller to the VM0808T's female RS- 232 port or the RS-485 / RS-422 captive screw connector.
5. If you are using a serial device at the local site, connect it to the VM0808T's male RS-232 port.
6. Plug a Cat 5e cable from the LAN into the VM0808T's Ethernet port.
7. Use the grounding wire to ground the unit by connecting one end of the wire to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.
   Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit from surges or static electricity.
