DIRECT CONNECTION

Before you can configure your VRC unit settings, you must first

establish a direct connection from your PC to the VRC unit.

Connect the VRC unit’s DIRECT port to the COM port you set up

as the Primary Connection for your PC (see page 22). The

DIRECT port is a DB9 male connector. Your PC COM port is

either a DB9 male connector or a DB25 male connector. Cables

are provided for connection to a DB9 COM port (most common).

Whether making a direct connection or connecting through a

modem, use only the provided null-modem cable. This cable is

wired to meet the specific requirements of the VRC unit. To

extend the serial cable, connect the serial cable to your VRC unit

and plug a straight-through extension cable into the cable. You

need a female-to-male extension to make the connections. See

Appendix E: Pinouts for more information.

Establishing Software Connection

1. Once a direct serial connection is established, open your VRC

Explorer by clicking on the Explorer Main Program shortcut in

the Start menu.

2. Double-click on the site icon (see page 21) that corresponds

with the VRC unit you are directly connected to from your PC.
