Connection

RS-232

The serial port of the Visualizer is a standard 9-pin-Sub-D-connector which can be found on most computers note. Only pin 2 (RxD), 3 (TxD) and 5 (GND) must be connected (pin2 and pin3 crossed, pin5 straight). The baud rate is by default set to 115200Baud/s. There is no parity, 8 data-bits and 1 stop-bit.

Possible baud rates are 115200, 57600, 38400, 19200 and 9600. To change the baud rate switch the Visualizer on and press the MENU key until the Extra-Menu appears (4 seconds). This is where the baud rate can be changed.

USB

The USB port of the Visualizer is a standard USB socket type B (standard or mini size, depending on Visualizer model).

All current available units are supporting USB 2.0 standard (hi-speed). The units are backward compatible with USB 1.0 and USB 1.1 but with reduced speed.

Ethernet

The LAN port (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) of the Visualizer is a standard RJ45 jack and auto negotiation is supported.

For the right settings of the Visualizer see built-in on-screen menu of the Visualizer and the HowTo guide to implement the Visualizer to the network

(www.wolfvision.com Support / Downloads / Manuals).

Currently the EYE-12 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and the VZ-3, VZ-XneoX, EYE-14, VZ-8light4,, VZ-8plus4, VZ-9.4L and VZ-9.4F are supporting PoE+ - see respective user manual.

 

Firewall rules must be adhered in order to allow successful network communications and the corresponding services to be used.
