1.3 Setting Up a System

Each MX module has a similar back panel with a power connector, two FireWire
connectors, and one Ethernet connector.
To get started, connect a DC voltage source of 10 to 30 volts (24 recommended) to
the X104 power supply port using the 1-NTX002 AC/DC power supply unit or the 1-
KAB294-5 power supply cable. Connect the host PC to the Ethernet (X100) or
FireWire (X101 or X102) ports of the module using the 1-KAB273-5 Ethernet cable or
1-KAB293-5 FireWire cable, respectively.
NOTE
Older computers require the use of an Ethernet crossover cable. Newer
computers have Ethernet interfaces with autocrossing functions.
Finally, connect the desired sensors. For further guidelines on setting up the system
and for different measurement setups, please refer to the SomatXR user manual.
When the system is set up, install and start the latest MX Assistant on the PC to
control the module. Detailed explanations about finding and connecting the module
can be found in the online help of the MX Assistant.
