Pass serial data via the device:

The VP-778 lets you route serial data through its various ports in the following ways:
Serial matrix – up to eight sets of unidirectional connections can be configured for passing serial data from a selected source
to a selected destination. Select the source/destination ports: port tunneling, the DATA RS-232 port, HDBT IN1, HDBT IN2 HDBT OUT1 or HDBT OUT2.
USR buttons – a programmable command is launched to a selected destination with a press of a USR button.
Select the destination ports: port tunneling, the DATA RS-232 port, HDBT IN1, HDBT IN2 HDBT OUT1, HDBT OUT2 or all.
