Installing The Monitor, Keyboard And Mouse
Before operating the DIRECTOR EC, the monitor, keyboard and mouse
must be attached.
Connecting The Monitor
•
Place the monitor on either side of the DIRECTOR EC unit.
•
Make sure the monitor power switch is set to the off position.
•
Connect one end of the power cord to the VAC Out on the monitor and
the other to the wall power outlet.
•
Connect the High Density DB15 male connector of the video cable to
the High Density DB15 female Video In port on the back of the host
computer.
Connecting The Mouse And Keyboard
•
Connect the PS/2 male connector of the mouse cord to the PS/2 female
Mouse In port on the back of the DIRECTOR EC.
•
Connect the PS/2 male connector of the keyboard cord to the PS/2
female Keyboard In port on the back of the DIRECTOR EC.
Installing The Network Cable
In addition to operating as a standalone duplicator the DIRECTOR EC can
be connected to a network to receive files for pre-mastering or even be
remotely controlled by use of the DIRECTOR EC’s advanced Application
Program Interface (SmartAPI). The unit comes equipped from the factory
with a 3COM 10/100BaseT Ethernet card for network attachment.
Connecting The Network Cable
•
Connect a suitable patch cord to the RJ45 network port on the back of
the DIRECTOR EC unit. A Category 3 or better cable should be used
for 10Base-T and Category 5 for 100Base-T network connection.
While networks are commonplace, their connection and interconnection
require specific expertise far beyond the scope of this manual. For our
purposes here, we will assume you either have expertise with networking
computers, or had your unit professionally installed by MF Digital.
