1 Introduction

Dedication by Kramer Electronics since 1981, to the development and manufacture of high quality video/audio equipment, makes the Kramer line an integral part of the finest production and presentation facilities in the world. In recent years, Kramer has redesigned and upgraded most of the line, making the best even better! The Kramer line of professional video/ audio electronics is one of the most versatile and complete available, and is a true leader in terms of quality, workmanship, price/performance ratio and innovation.

In addition to our high quality accessories, like the VP-14 RS-232 Port Extender, we also offer excellent switchers and matrices, distribution amplifiers, presentation processors, interfaces, remote controllers and computer-related products.

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer Tools VP-14 RS-232 Port Extender.

This product is ideal for:

- Controlling a single matrix switcher or other product via several computers and/or controllers

• Monitoring several RS-232 controlled machines via one PC port

- Inter-communication between several serially controlled machines

The package includes the following items:

• VP-14 RS-232 Port Extender
- Mounting bracket
• Power adapter (12V DC Input) ^1
- This user manual
• Kramer concise product catalog/CD

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment
  • Review the contents of this user manual

3 Overview

The unique VP-14 RS-232 Port Extender distributes an incoming RS-232 command as transmitted by a touch screen control system, personal computer, or other type of control system, to 3 other RS-232 ports. This lets you control up to 3 compatible devices when only one serial port or RS-232 card is available.

The VP-14 is specifically designed for use with Kramer switchers and routers, but can be easily adapted for use with any other equipment, which uses RS-232 in null-modem configuration.

In particular, the VP-14 includes:

• Four DB 9M ports, any of which can receive incoming RS-232
- Dipswitches to configure each port for use with straight/flat or crossed wires

Achieving the best performance means:

• Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoiding interference from neighboring electric appliances that may adversely influence signal quality and positioning your VP-14 in a location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust
