This section
describes how to make the connections between the system and the following
peripheral devices:
Connecting
the Monitor
A monitor is available for purchase
for use with the INTUITY AUDIX LX system or the customer can supply
a monitor.
Two cables connect the monitor to
the system:
- Video cable connector: The
video cable connector has a video input connector at one end. The
other end of the cable is permanently attached to the monitor.
- Power cable: The power cable
for the monitor connects to a standard AC outlet.
To connect the monitor cables:
- Plug the video cable connector from
the monitor directly into the video connector located on the back
of the chassis.
- Tighten the thumbscrews
on the video cable connector with your fingers or with a small flatblade
screwdriver.
- Plug the female
end of the power cable into the monitor.
- Plug the male
end of the power cable into a grounded AC outlet.
- Log in as craft or sa, and verify that it displays system information
well enough to do initial administration.
If the Sampo Alphascan 511 monitor isn't purchased with
the system, any 15" or greater monitor can be connected and will
function properly,though some additional configuration steps may be
necessary. If the display is poor, perform the following process after
powering up:
- Log off of the console. If the display is so poor that you cannot
see the mouse pointer well enough to exit or log off, you can exit
by pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE simultaneously.
- Log in at the console as monitor with the password of monitor.
- On the text-based display, attempt to find the brand name of the
monitor to be used. Use the down arrow or PageDown keys to scroll
through the list of many available monitors, or try typing the first
letter of the brand name.
- Use the TAB key to move between the menu and the buttons, if necessary.
- Highlight the name of the monitor that most closely matches the
customer's monitor, then press ENTER.
The monitor screen flashes during testing and
adjusting, then the cursor returns to the login prompt.
- Log in to the system with craft or sa, as appropriate, and see if
the display has improved.
- If the display is still poor, relogin as monitor and select
the Generic monitor setting, which is the first one on the list.
- If there is still no improvement, the customer must supply a different
monitor.
Connecting
the Keyboard and Mouse
A 6-pin female DIN receptacle is
located in the back of the system. The receptacle is purple. The male
plug is provided with the keyboard. Both of the connector assemblies
are keyed to provide proper alignment.
The mouse provided with the INTUITY
AUDIX LX system is onboard the keyboard. The connector for the provided
mouse splits off from the keyboard cable. A female DIN receptacle is
located in the back of the system, next to the keyboard receptacle.
The mouse receptacle is green.
If the customer chooses, the customer can provide a standard
mouse and plug the mouse cable into the mouse receptacle.
Connecting
the Modem
A serial modem is provided with
INTUITY AUDIX LX for remote maintenance. You can also purchase a USB
modem with the LX system or supply your own serial modem.
Select one of the procedures below to connect a modem
to the INTUITY AUDIX LX system.
Supplied Serial Modem
To connect the supplied serial modem:
- Verify that dip switches 3, 5, and
8 are in the down position (this should be the default).
- Connect the 25-pin end of the provided 25-pin to 9-pin cable to
the modem. A 25-pin extension cable is also provided for use if needed.
- Connect the 9-pin end of the 25-pin to 9-pin cable to COM2 on the
back of the INTUITY AUDIX LX system.
- Plug one end of an analog phone cord into the TELCO jack on the
modem.
- Plug the other end of the analog phone cord into an analog telephone
jack.
- Plug the modem's power supply into the modem's power jack and into
an electrical outlet.
- Turn on the modem's power and then verify that the CS light on the
front panel of the modem is lit.
Once the modem is connected, you must administer
its connection in the INTUITY AUDIX LX system software. Activate
the Modem instructs you to do that after you log in to the system
for the first time.
USB or Customer-Supplied Serial
Modem

Access Security Gateway (ASG) authentication
is only available through a serial modem. USB modems do not support
ASG.

to connect the modem to the system.
