screen. Please choose a proper way according to your usage.
Method 1: For use without the Glux signal divider: Link the LED screen with
VSP-F2L4 controller by signal cable. It means that signal is transmitted to the LED
screen directly from the controller’s output port (OUT1~OUT4).
Method 2: With signal divider. Transmit signal from VSP-F2L4 controller’s output
port “OUT1~OUT4”to SDV signal divider’s input port “SIG IN” by CAT6 Ethernet
cable. The signal will be transmitted from SDV signal divider’s interface A1~A4,
B1~B4 to LED screen by signal cable.
Method 3: With signal divider. Transmit signal from VSP-F2L4 controller’s optical
port OUT1~OUT2 to SDV signal divider’s optical input port “ IN” by optical fiber
cable. And then signal will be transmitted from SDV signal divider’s interfaces
A1~A4, B1~B4 to LED screen by signal cable.
Three kinds of connection modes are showed as below:
System signal connection method 1 (Transmission distance≤120m)
Signal be transmitted from controller to LED screen directly

4
System signal connection method 2 (Transmission distance≤150m)
Signal→by CAT6 Ethernet cable→to Signal divider→by signal cable→to screen
System signal connection method 3 (Transmission distance≤10Km)
Signal→by optical fiber cable→to Signal divider→by signal cable→to LED screen
The optical fiber cable type should be single mode.
Which method you choose will depend on the control distance and the size of
LED screen. Method 2 and the method 3 are recommended especially in the case of
larger LED screens or long distance transmission.

Chapter3. Control software of VSP-F2L4 controller
3.1 Installation and Running Environment for Control Software of
VSP-F2L4 Controller
Users can install the VSP-F2L4 control software in the computer to set the parameters
of the LED screen. At present, the control software only supports Windows XP,
Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating system. Apple, Android, Linux operating
system are not supported.
After you complete the installation of the VSP-F2L4 control software V2.66, you
need to do the following two things if it is your first time using this control software.
(1) Install the USB drive; import panel types file ”Style.glux” in the "application"
menu according to introduction.
(2) Select “VSPF2L4”under the “Controller” menu.

12
3.2 Communication Setting
There are two ways to communicate each other between control computer and
VSP-F2L4 controller, through USB cable or Ethernet cable. It means that you only
need one USB or RJ45 cable connect the computer with controller to set the LED
screen’s parameter.
3.2.1 Serial Port (COM Port) Setting through USB Cable
The computer communicates with the controller via the serial port (COM port),
they connect together with a USB cable. Click “Search” button in the communication
interface of the control software to search for available serial port. If the indicator
turns from red to green it means the connection is successful, otherwise, connection
fails. Please check whether the USB driver had been installed, USB cable or USB
interface had been damaged if connection fails.

13
3.2.2 Network Port Setting
If the controller and the computer are connected via the Network port, set the IP
address correctly before setting the parameters. And then click the option "Ping" in
the Network port communication.
Please make sure the IP address of the controller and the control computer on the
same LAN network segment, it means the 1st-3rd segment addresses should same, but
the last segment is different. Such as: computer IP 192. 168. 0.10 and controller IP
192.168.0.6
The IP address in the computer and the control
system have to be on the same segment，but
different IP.
The IP address of control software is same as the IP address
showed on the LCD interface.

14
The indicator will turn from red to green if the network port communicates
successfully; otherwise you should check whether the Network port connect correctly
or check whether the IP address of the controller and the control software are in same
LAN network.

3.4 Address Setting
There are 3 methods for set the screen display address by this control software:
single setting, multiple setting (whole screen setting) and intelligent setting. Usually
we only use the multiple setting or intelligent setting to set the screen’s display
address, as shown below:
3.4.1. Address setting method 1: (Not normally used)
Function: Set one LED panel to be displayed in which column and row.
Step1.Controller Port: Select correct control port which connecting this LED panel.
Step2.MAC-Address ：Represents the ordinal number for the LED panel which
connects the controller selected port (Port A, B, C, D).
From the signal input of the first piece of LED screen, MAC-Address starting at 0 and
increase by 1.MAC Address=0,1,2,3,4…(Take the above picture for example, LED
panel 0’s MAC Address=0, LED panel 1’s MAC Address=1,LED panel 2’s MAC
Address=2, LED panel 3’s MAC Address=3,LED panel 4…)
Step 3，Column In：Represents the column for LED panel displayed in, start from 0.
Step 4，Row In：Represent the row for LED panel displayed in, start from 0.
Step 5 ，Send ：Click the “Send” button when you finish setting one LED panel
address.
Use this method, you can set the LED panels’ display address one by one. Please

17
remember to save your settings in the “Parameters” interface when you finish setting
all LED screens addresses. Otherwise, once you reboot the controller, the data for the
address setting will be lost.
Attention Please ：Single setting will usually only be used for some special
requirements of display. Generally, Multiple Settings (whole screen settings) and
Intelligent Settings would be recommended as they are bring greater ease of use for
users to set the LED screen address. Shown below are the applications of these two
methods.
3.4.2 The Method 2 for Address Setting: Multiple Setting (whole
screen setting）
