User manual RANE VIA 10

[. . . ] OPERATORS MANUAL Via 10 ETHERNET BRIDGE Introduction Normally, one would find our Quick Start at this location. But to break with tradition and keep us all on our toes, we thought we'd be different. After all, the Via 10 is different in that it has no audio connections. Many Via 10 users employ the Via 10 to run Rane's RW 232 devices over a standard Ethernet LAN. [. . . ] But, since this is the Hardware section of the Manual, we're a bit premature in even mentioning software here. The default settings of the Via 10's RS-232 port support RW 232 communications. If RW 232 devices are being used with the Via 10 RS-232 port, the shipped baud and parity settings of the RS-232 port need not be changed. Just in case, the default settings are listed below. Only 8-bit wide words are supported--no 7-bit words. Via 10 Default RS-232 Communications Settings (required for RW 232 use) Baud Parity Start bit Stop bit RS-232 cable length 19200 Even 1 (always) 1 (always) 50 feet max VIPVOP screen Manual-6 RaneWare RW 232 Ethernet operation. Run RaneWare (2. 10 or higher) and from the System menu, select System Setup. In the Connection box, select the Via 10 (Ethernet) radio button so RW 232 commands will be sent out of the Ethernet port (rather than out the PC's RS-232 COM port nor out the computer's modem and phone line to a far end modem and Rane's RPD 1). Make sure to type the proper Via 10 IP address for the RaneWare RW 232 device(s) you wish to control over the network. Each Via 10 can accept up to 16 RW 232 devices in any variety connected to its RS-232 port. To address more RW 232 devices, use additional Via 10s. RS-232 based serial devices can transport their data through the Via 10 as long as the Via 10's RS-232 port is configured properly. The default settings for the Via 10 RS-232 port are shown above. Supported ranges for RS-232 communications can be found in the VIACONFIG utility. The pull down fields display all supported settings. For detailed RS-232 port specifications, see the Data Sheet section of this Manual. Standard RS-232/DB-9 wiring for Tx and Rx connections are provided. The maximum cable length supported by RS232 is still 50 feet (15 meters); this assumes good quality, CAT 5 cable. A variety of external means are available to lengthen the 50 feet limitation by using RS-232 to RS-422 or RS-485 converter devices. These can be sourced from a variety of manufacturers (but not Rane ­ we can't make everything, where would we put it?[OK, this is a Steven Wright joke, but a good one]). At this point, we're compelled to ask: doesn't it seem strange to have to mention such devices when your system already includes 100 meter-capable Ethernet for control?Hardware 2: RS-485, the Rane SR 1L and SRM 66 SR 1L Use.
