Connecting the Computer Interface Cables
Computer interface cables connect your computers to the XP4000 Series unit.
You will have a set for each computer in your XP4000 system. These cables
are a user specified length with a 44-pin D-shaped female connector on one
end. The other end will have from 2 to 8 connectors, depending on the cable
you ordered and the kind of computer you are attaching. The table below
shows the cables that are compatible with your PC computer. Use the
instructions on the following pages that apply to the cable and computer type
you are attaching, and repeat the process for each additional PC computer in
your XP4000 Series system.
For IBM AT compatible computers with serial mouse capability
1.
Your computer interface cables for this computer will be labeled either
CPUC-

or CPUF-

, depending on the options you ordered. Use the
cable diagrams below to locate the correct cable.
2.
Power down your computer,
then plug the cable's keyboard, serial
mouse and VGA monitor connectors into the matching ports on the PC.
If you have the CPUF-

series cable, you will have three additional
connectors: two 3.5mm connectors for a microphone and speakers, and
a 9-pin D-shaped serial connector for a serial port. The microphone
connector is denoted by a blue band around its cable; the serial mouse
connector is denoted by a yellow band. Plug these connectors into the
appropriate ports on your PC or peripheral device.
3.
Attach the computer interface cable to the unit by plugging the 44-pin
connector into the rear of the appropriate computer interface module.
Ensure that the connector is firmly seated, then tighten the thumbscrews.
