NOTE:
• Turn OFF both the VE-PG4 and the serial device before connecting or disconnecting the cable.
• A data transmission delay may occur as the data routes through the network. The error caused by the delay
may be improved if the time out timer is set to a long value.
• Use a crossover cable when you connect a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment) to the VE-PG4.
