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.
CAUTION
Defects in the module cannot be excluded if a supply voltage greater than 30 V
is used. If the supply voltage drops below 10 V, the module switches off.
