MULTIPORT SPOOLER VIII (4-, 8-, and 12-Port Models)
If your peripherals require more output-port connections than you have
output ports on your Multiport Spooler VIII, connect these peripherals to
free input ports. You can later use the configuration program to change these
ports to output ports. The opposite also applies; if your PCs require more
input ports than you have on your MPS-VIII, connect these PCs to free output
ports and later configure the unit to change the direction of the ports.
3.5 Powering Up the System
Plug the included AC power supply into the appropriate connector on the
rear panel of the Multiport Spooler VIII, then plug its input cord into a
working outlet.
The power switch is located on the front panel of the Multiport Spooler VIII.
Ideally, you should have your MPS-VIII and the attached peripherals plugged
into a common power strip or UPS, so that they can be powered up
simultaneously. If this is not the case, turn on your system in this order:
computers first, followed by the MPS-VIII, then your peripherals (printers,
plotters, modems, etc.).
When you turn on the Multiport Spooler VIII, a visual test sequence is
initiated on the front panel. If the POWER LED remains on when this test
sequence is completed, the MPS-VIII is ready for use.
