connections
Connecting a USB mouse and keyboard
You can connect any USB-compliant mouse or keyboard to the USB connectors,
located on the front panel of the Matrox 4Sight-II unit.
Connecting other USB devices
If you are using Matrox 4Sight-II under the Windows 2000 operating system, you
can connect other USB devices to the USB connectors. However if you are using
your unit under Windows NT, you cannot connect other USB devices.
If you are using another operating system, please refer to its accompanying
documentation, to determine if USB devices are supported.
Networking connections
Connect a network cable to the Ethernet jack, located on the front panel of the
chassis.
Matrox 4Sight-II can gain access to a LAN via Fast Ethernet (100BaseT) or
Twisted Pair Ethernet (10BaseT).
If you plan to use Fast Ethernet, use an Unshielded Twisted Pair Category 5
(UTP5) cable. If you will be using Twisted Pair Ethernet, use a UTP5 or UTP3
cable.
An RJ45 connector must be attached to each end of the cable.
