This chapter explains how to connect power, monitors and audio-visual devices to your Viz 2110 I/
O Module. After completing this short section, you’ll be all set to begin using your Viz 2110 I/O.
This section contains information on the following topics:
Command and Control
Input and Output Connections
Networking
Configuration and Administration
2.1 Command And Control
Connect an external computer monitor to the HDMI port on the backplane (see Input/Output
Connections).
Connect the mouse and keyboard to USB ports also on the backplane.
Connect the power cord to Viz 2110 IO’s backplane.
Turn on the computer monitor.
Press the Power switch on Viz 2110 IO’s faceplate (behind the drop-down door).
At this point, the blue Power LED illuminates, as the device boots up (if this does not happen,
please check your connections and retry). Though not a requirement, we do strongly recommend
that you connect the unit using an uninterruptable power supply (UPS), as for any mission critical
system.
Likewise consider A/C power conditioning, especially in situations where local power is unreliable
or noisy. Surge protection is especially important in some locales. Power conditioners can reduce
wear on power supplies and other electronics, and provide a further measure of protection from
surges, spikes, lightning and high voltage.
2.2 Input And Output Connections
External audio and video sources are connected to the appropriate inputs on Viz 2110 IO’s
backplane.
Tip: Viz 2110 IO’s interface requires a monitor resolution setting of at least 1280x1024.
A word about UPS devices:Modified sine wave UPS devices are popular due to low
manufacturing costs. However, such units should generally be viewed as being of low
quality and possibly inadequate to fully protect the system from abnormal power events.
For a modest added cost, consider a pure sine wave UPS. These units can be relied on to
supply very clean power, eliminating potential problems, and are recommended for
applications demanding high reliability.
