Installation
Single Stage
Installation of the VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108 is simply a matter of plugging
in the appropriate cables.
To install the splitter, refer to the installation diagram on page 10 as you
perform the following steps:
1. Use a VGA/Audio cables to connect the VGA/Audio output ports on the
source device to the VGA/Audio input ports on the VS0102 / VS0104 /
VS0108.
2. Use VGA/Audio cables to connect the VGA/Audio inputs of the video
displays and speaker devices to the VGA/Audio output ports on the rear of
the VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108.
3. 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.
4. Plug the provided power adapter into an appropriate AC power source;
plug the power adapter cable into the power jack on the VS0102 / VS0104
/ VS0108.
5. (Optional) To control the VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108 system through the
RS-232 port, connect the hardware/software controller here.
The installation is complete, you may power on the display and source devices.
Note: The VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108 installations are the same, with the only
difference being that the VS0102 has two video display ports, the VS0104 has
four video display ports, and the VS0108 has eight video display ports.

Installing the RS-232 Controller
In order to use the RS-232 serial interface to attach a high-end controller (such
as a PC) to the splitter, use a RS-232 serial cable. The end connecting to the
VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108 should have a 9-pin male connector. Refer to step
5 on the diagram above.
Note: To configure the controller serial port, see page 11.

Cascade
To provide video/audio displays for more monitors, additional video splitters
can be cascaded. Use a high density HDB-15 male/female video/audio
extender cables to connect any available video/audio output port on the higher
level video splitter to the video/audio input port of the lower level Video
Splitter.
Recommended distances between devices in all cascade levels for transmitting
a high resolution signal, are as follows:
Source to VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108: 1.8 m
VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108 to VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108: 15 m
VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108 to monitor: 65 m
Note: In the diagram above any output port not connecting the cascade is
available for extended display/audio connections.

Operation
Overview
The VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108 2/4/8-Port VGA Splitter with Audio offers
simple plug and play operation. To use the splitter, simply connect your
hardware as instructed in Chapter 2, power on all devices in your setup, and the
splitter expands your source signal across two (VS0102), four (VS0104), or
eight (VS0108) video displays.
The remainder of this chapter describes the RS-232 serial interface, and how to
power off/restart your device.
RS-232 Serial Interface
The VS0102 / VS0104 / VS0108’s built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial
interface allows system control through a high-end controller, PC, and/or home
automation / home theater software package.
Advanced settings are controlled through the RS-232 serial interface. This
section describes the RS-232 serial port device configuration and the port
commands for Switch Port; EDID Mode Selection, Mute, Firmware Update,
Read, and Reset.
Configuring the Serial Port
The controller’s serial port should be configured as follows:
Baud Rate 19200
Data Bits 8
Parity None
Stop Bits 1
Flow Control None

Switch Port Commands
The formula for Switch Port commands are as follows:
1. Switch Command + Output Command + Port Number + Control [Enter]
For example, to turn on output port 02, type the following:
sw o02 on [Enter]
or
For example, to turn off output port 01, input the following:
sw o01 off [Enter]
The following tables show the possible values and formats for the Output
Command, Port Number and Control:

Output
Command for Cascaded Splitters
Serial port commands for cascaded splitters require identifying the chain of
ports to which the target device is connected. The formula for Switch Port
commands are as follows:
Switch Command + Output Command + Port Number (at first stage) + Port
Number (at second stage) + Port Number (at third stage) + Control [Enter]
For the example above, the command for switching off the Target Output Port
4 of the splitter connected to Port 3 at the second stage of the cascade, which,
in turn, is connected to output Port 4 at the first stage unit, is as follows:
sw o04-03-04 off [Enter]
This cascade command format is applied to Mute Commands, page 15, Read
Commands, page 17, and Reset Commands,page 18. However, this is not
applicable to EDID commands, which apply only to the first stage unit splitter,
as well as the Firmware commands.

Do not place the device on any unstable surface (cart, stand, table, etc.). If
the device falls, serious damage will result.
Do not use the device near water.
Do not place the device near, or over, radiators or heat registers.
The device cabinet is provided with slots and openings to allow for
adequate ventilation. To ensure reliable operation, and to protect against
overheating, these openings must never be blocked or covered.
The device should never be placed on a soft surface (bed, sofa, rug, etc.) as
this will block its ventilation openings. Likewise, the device should not be
placed in a built in enclosure unless adequate ventilation has been provided.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.
Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
The device should be operated from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available,
consult your dealer or local power company.
The device is designed for IT power distribution systems with 230V
phase-to-phase voltage.
To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all devices are
properly grounded.
The device is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
purpose of the grounding-type plug. Always follow your local/national
wiring codes.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the
power cord and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.

decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
un-interruptible power supply (UPS).

rests on any cables.
Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a risk of fire
or electrical shock.

Rack Mounting
Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to
the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on
the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front
stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the
rack first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from
the rack.
Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a
device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a
locking position, and then slide the device into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the
rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit
rating.
Make sure that all equipment used on the rack – including power strips and
other electrical connectors – is properly grounded.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature specified for the
equipment by the manufacturer.
Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a
rack.
