Introduction
This guide contains information to prepare the new owner of a Vision Phoenix 1212 engraver
for the proper installation of their machine. It is the customer's responsibility to read through this
guide and make sure the work area, electrical and computer requirements are met prior to the
arrival of a representative from Vision for the scheduled installation/machine orientation date. If
for any reason, there are questions about these requirements, please call your Vision representative as
soon as possible.
IMPORTANT
– Once your training day is scheduled, if for any reason you
have to cancel training or change the dates, you may be subject to fees associated with your
change request. However, if the trainer arrives at your facility on the day of training and you
have to cancel or reschedule training at that time, a fee of $750 will be required before Vision
will send the trainer back to your facility in addition to fees associated with your change
request. No exceptions.
In the following sections, the complete machine and Vision software installation will be outlined.
There are three connection configurations possible with the Vision Engraver.
The first is a direct cable connection to your computer via the network port. There is a special
"crossover" cable (the cable colored gray) supplied for this connection type. This configuration
is for a stand alone computer that is NOT connected to a WIRED network or internet. A
connection can be made to a computer that is connected to a wireless network in this manner.
The second configuration is for connection through a wired network using a standard Ethernet
cable (DO NOT use the crossover cable when connecting to a network). In this configuration,
the engraver or router will be recognized as a network device. Connection in this manner is the
easier of the two connection types. If there are no network connections available, a network
hub can be added to allow connection to your network.
The third configuration is for a connection from the computer to a hub (or router) and then to
your machine. This is WITHOUT a computer network. Standard Ethernet cables are used in
this configuration.
Please call your distributor or the service department at Vision for assistance if you are having
problems with this procedure.
