Mechanical Installation

To mechanically attach the PORTMAN 4x4/S to your computer,
do the following:
1. Turn off both your computer and the PORTMAN 4x4/S.
2. Locate the connector for the printer port (LPT1 or LPT2) on
the back of your computer.
3. Attach one end of the supplied parallel cable to the printer
port and the other to the PORTMAN 4x4/S rear connector
labeled "PC Printer Port". Make sure that the connectors are
firmly joined and that you have tightened the thumbscrews
on the computer side of the cable.
4. Connect the power supply to the PORTMAN 4x4/S and plug
it into a convenient power outlet. Although it won't hurt your
PORTMAN 4x4/S to leave it plugged in, we recommend hav-
ing it on a power strip so you can turn it on and off as you
need it.
5. Connect your MIDI gear to the PORTMAN 4x4/S. Remember
to think of these connections in terms of signal flow.
Information goes OUT of your keyboard to the IN of the
PORTMAN, OUT of your PORTMAN and IN to your key-
board.
6. Connect your tape deck or other SMPTE device to the 1/4"
SMPTE phone connectors. Connect the PORTMAN SMPTE
jack labeled "IN" to the proper Tape Out or Sync Out of your
tape deck. Connect the PORTMAN SMPTE jack labeled
"OUT" to the proper Tape In or Sync In jack of your tape deck.
7. Move your computer back to its original position. You may
now turn on your computer.
