ATL Telecom Telex - Manual (Page 7)

2. INSTALLATION STEPS
(i) Preliminary
Check the mains voltage shown on the rear panel.
Check the paperwork accompanying the Telex Unit to ensure that,
(a) the serial number corresponds
(b) the answerback is correct
(c) the host interface baud rate and mode are correct (see section 4).
No attempt should be made to install a Telex Unit if an error is
suspected.
(ii) Host Cable
It is the responsibility of the installer to provide the connecting cable
between the Telex Unit and the Host, including any monitor printer.
Two D-type connectors are required for connection to the Telex Unit.
If the printer connection is not being used, the D-Type Connector
Cover provided must be left fitted.
(iii) Location
Select a position for the Telex Unit that is within cable reach of the
mains supply, host equipment, telex line termination and standby
teleprinter (if installed). The mains lead and telex connections
provided with the Telex Unit are approximately 2 meters long. The
chosen site should be secure, dry and avoid exposure to excessive
heat from equipment, room heating devices or direct sunlight. The
front panel should be visible so that the LED displays can be
observed during system operation.
(iv) Connections
Connect the Telex Unit as follows: -
(a) Insert Host connecting cable (25 - pin male D-type connector) and
(optional) monitor printer connecting cable (9 - pin female D-type
connector) into the mating connectors at the rear of the Telex Unit.
Connect the other ends of these cables to the Host and monitor
printer.
(b) Make connections to the telex line and standby teleprinter (if
installed) via the line plug and teleprinter socket (if installed). Refer to
Appendix A for U.K. connection details.
