5. (Optional) Connect your speakers / audio output device(s) to the Audio port(s) of the output boards you installed.

6. (Optional) To control multiple VM3250 units via serial communication, use an appropriate serial cable to connect a computer or a serial controller to the VM3250’s female RS-485 / RS-422 Serial Port. Use the supplied terminal block connector for this connection.

7. (Optional) To remotely operate the VM3250 via the web interface, connect the VM3250’s Ethernet port to the network using an Ethernet cable.

8. (Optional) To control the VM3250 via serial communication, use an appropriate serial cable to connect a computer or a serial controller to the VM3250’s female RS-232 serial port.

9. Insert the power module (supplied with the package) into the primary power slot, plug the power cord (supplied with the package) into the VM3250’s 3 prong socket, and then into a power source.
