Hardware Installation

Use a 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.
Unscrew the covers on the VM1600A’s rear panel and insert the I/O boards into the horizontal slots (at least 1 Input x 1 Output; maximum Inputs x 4 Outputs).
Connect your A/V source device(s) to the Input port(s) of the Input Board on the VM1600A.
Connect your video display device(s) to the Video port(s) of the Output Board on the VM1600A.
(Optional) Connect your audio input/output device(s) to the Audio port(s) of the I/O Board on the VM1600A.
(Optional) If you are using the remote operation features (web GUI), plug a Cat 5e cable from the network into the VM1600A’s Ethernet port.
(Optional) If you are using a serial control function, use an appropriate serial cable to connect the computer or serial controller to the VM1600A’s female RS-232 serial port.
(Optional) If you are using the serial control function to control multiple VM1600A, use an appropriate serial cable to connect the computer or serial controller to the VM1600A’s female RS-485/RS-422 captive screw connector. The VM1600A package includes a terminal block connector that can be used for this connection.
Insert the power module (supplied with the package) into the primary power slot, plug the power cord (supplied with the package) into the VM1600A’s 3 prong socket, and then into a power source.
Note: Make sure the power module is stabilized into the VM1600A. Without pressing the Power Module Release Lever, if you cannot pull the power module out of the VM1600A, it is stabilized.
(Optional) Plug in an additional power module for redundancy if required. Note: Secondary power modules are not included in the package.
Power on the VM1600A and all devices in the installation.
