The AXEL AX3000 Terminal is based on a modular concept. VGA / SVGA standard monitor AX3000 standard keyboard The AX3000 is totally designed and manufactured by Axel. The terminal's electronics is contained within a slim base unit which provides connections for a VGA or SVGA monitor, keyboard, system printer, serial devices and Ethernet network.
Safety Notices 1 - SAFETY NOTICES Check AC voltage from the wall outlet is inside 220-240 Volts range. The wall outlet used must be reached easily and as nearest as possible to the AX3000 Platine Terminal to connect or disconnect the power cord. Make sure to power off all devices before connecting or disconnecting any one of them (monitor VGA cable, keyboard and serial or parallel cables).
Installation 2 - INSTALLATION This chapter provides information and instructions to install the AX3000 Model 65E. 2.1 - DESCRIPTION A green LED, located on the face plate, indicates when the AX3000 is powered on.
Installation Make sure the AX3000 and monitor power switches are in the OFF (0) position before connecting cables to the back panel. 1 : On 0 : Off 2.2.1 - Monitor and keyboard Plug in the VGA monitor cable, the AT-compatible keyboard cable and the optional mouse cable to the dedicated connectors on the terminal back panel: If your keyboard is fitted with a DIN connector, connect it using a DIN-to-MiniDIN adaptor.
Installation Note: when the terminal is installed in a cabinet or rack, it is essential to maintain air circulation around the VGA/SVGA monitor. 2.2.2 - Ethernet Connection Plug the RJ45 connector on the end of the 10Base-T cable into the socket labelled 10BT on the back of the AX3000 (see chapter 4.1 for technical specifications and pin assignments).
Installation 2.2.3 - Auxiliary Ports AX3000 Models 65E have three auxiliary ports as a standard feature: - MAIN-AUX1: bi-directional serial port, RJ45 connector, - AUX2: bi-directional serial port, RJ45 connector, - PARALLEL: parallel port, female 25-pin connector. Cable pin assignments are listed in chapter 4. To comply with EMC regulations, the serial cables must be shielded. 2.2.
Installation Plug the monitor power cable into a grounded AC mains power socket. The monitor does not require low voltage power. 2.2.5 - Power On The power switch on the rear panel controls the power supply to the AX3000. 1 : On 0 : Off The green LED on the front of the terminal should light, and a single audible beep should be heard, to indicate that the AX3000 terminal is powered up and operating correctly.
Quick Installation 3 - QUICK INSTALLATION This chapter describes the quick set-up procedure for the TCP/IP Platine terminal. The following command sequence is used to enter the AX3000 Set-Up: All the AX3000 set-up parameters (network environment, session settings and auxiliary port settings) can be adjusted through this set-up. For more information, refer to the guide: TCP/IP AX3000 - User's Manual. But, for a fast and reliable installation, the AX3000 provides a quick set-up function.
Quick Installation The quick set-up dialog box is displayed: Note: this box is automatically called when the AX3000 is powered up for the first time. Quick set-up parameters: - Keyboard: keyboard nationality. - Number of sessions: maximum number of sessions. These sessions are automatically associated with the host described above. - Configuration: virtual terminal settings. This choice is selected from a list. - AX3000 IP address - Default router: optional router IP address.
Connector Pin Assignments 4 - CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS This chapter describes the connector pin assignments for the different ports of the AX3000 Model 65E. 4.1 - ETHERNET PORT RJ45 (10BT) Recommended wiring is a non-shielded twisted-pair cable (UTP), category 3 or 5 ! " # $ % RJ45 connector (Model 65E rear panel) Note: the maximum length of a 10Base-T cable is 100 meters (330 feet).
Connector Pin Assignments b - AX3000 Connected to an Ethernet Controller IMPORTANT: the cable is composed of two twisted pairs. The two wires TX+ / TX- must belong to one pair and the two wires RX+ / RX- must belong to the other pair. 4.
Connector Pin Assignments 4.2.1 - RJ45-DB9 and RJ45-DB25 adaptors Pin assignment for an adaptor between the peripheral cable and the AX3000 RJ45 connector: & & " # $ "% ! " ' # "% ( 4.2.
Connector Pin Assignments 4.3 - KEYBOARD INTERFACE The AX3000 keyboard interface is a Mini-DIN connector. To connect a keyboard which has a DIN connector, use a DIN-to-Mini-DIN adaptor: Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 Signal name Data --Ground + 5 V DC Clock --- Keyboard connector (Model 65E rear panel) 4.
Connector Pin Assignments 4.5 - VIDEO INTERFACE The AX3000 video interface is VGA and SVGA compatible: " ! & " ' ! % $ # VGA/SVGA connector (Model 65E, rear panel) Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Signal name Red Green Blue --Ground Ground Ground Ground Ground Ground ----Horizontal sync. Vertical sync.
Connector Pin Assignments 4.6 - PARALLEL INTERFACE The Platine terminal Model 65E is equipped with a parallel port.
Problem Solving 5 - PROBLEM SOLVING This chapter describes some of the problems, that may occur during installation of the AX3000 Model 65E, and offers possible solutions. - THE VGA MONITOR VERTICAL SYNC IS LOST Care must be taken with the VGA monitor. The default VGA frequency used by the AX3000 is 72 Hertz. If the VGA monitor does not support this frequency, the vertical sync will be lost.
Problem Solving - AFTER THE TERMINAL HAS BEEN SWITCHED ON, THE MESSAGES 'NO ETHERNET BOARD PRESENT' ETHERNET BOARD' APPEAR AND 'CANNOT ATTACH This message indicates a hardware failure. Report the problem to your service representative. - A DOUBLE-BEEP SOUNDS After switching on the terminal, a double beep may sound, a few seconds after the normal first beep. This signal indicates that keyboard initialisation has failed. Check the keyboard connection to the terminal back panel.
Problem Solving - NO LOGIN WHEN THE 'CONNECTING...' MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED Check the Ethernet cables are correctly connected and networked devices (hubs or servers) are switched on. No connection (and no login) can also be due to a wrong terminal setting during the TCP/IP set-up (for example a wrong IP address). - INCORRECT APPEARANCE OF SOFTWARE DISPLAYED ON THE AX3000 Check the values of parameters set using Terminal Set-Up. Check that the correct terminal emulation has been chosen.
