cables. Choose an appropriate length of cables for your installation. 

Note 

Use no more than one video cable and one extender video cable in series. DO 
NOT ATTACH ADDITIONAL CABLES TO EXTEND THE LENGTH. 

1.  Connect one end of the VGA video cable to the display.  

2.  Connect the other end of the video cable to the back of the computer. 

3.  Connect the audio cable to the audio input jack on the display. 

4.  Attach a power cable to the video display and plug into an available AC power outlet. 

5.  Dress all cables as needed using cable ties or equivalent material. 

 

Setup a Welch Allyn Printer 

1.  Place the laser printer in the final desired location. 

2.  Connect the power cord to the AC power inlet on the laser printer, typically on the rear of the 

unit, and to a designated AC power outlet. 

3.  Attach an RJ45 type network cable from the laser printer to the nearest wall mounted network 

jack identified for use with the central station. 

4.  Power on the laser printer. 

5.  Refer to the network information table from the 

Connex CS Customer Project Req Form, 

Appendix B1

, to confirm network settings for laser printer if known. 

6. 

Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide to configure network settings for the laser printer if 
required. 

 

Setup a Customer Supplied Printer 

The project may include the use of a customer supplied printer, typically a shared network 
resource. See 

“Add a Customer Supplied Printer” 

for additional information. 

Note 

It is the facility responsibility to provide a driver for the printer. 

Consult with the facility IT staff to identify the network printer and obtain a driver 
compatible with Windows 7 - 64 bit. Refer to the 

Connex CS Customer Project 

Req Form, Appendix B1

 for additional information. 

Warm Spare installation 

A system configured for Warm Spare operation is licensed and configured to contact and 
synchronize its local database with that of the Connex server. The Warm Spare does not perform 
any other functions than to maintain a state of readiness to be put into place as a replacement 
central station when needed.
