„Rack mounting screws.

„Screwdriver for the rack mount screws and slide, as needed.

Caution

Since the unit does not have a AC mains power switch, both the appliance inlet connector and the plug on the detachable power supply cord are considered to be suitable disconnect means for disconnecting the unit from the AC mains supply. If the rear of the unit is not accessible after installation in the instrument rack, you must provide a suitable external AC disconnect means for the unit.

To set up the 4092A:

1.Unpack carefully and inspect the 4092A.

2.Check for physical damage.

„If you observe physical damage, immediately contact Timing Solutions and the carrier.

„We recommend saving the shipping container for submitting any necessary claims to the carrier.

3.Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver and a #6-32 pan head screw, connect a safety ground wire to the safety ground point next to one power supply.

4.Plug the female end of the power cord into the male IEC-320 plug on the rear of each power supply.

5.Plug the male end of each power cord into a 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source.

Caution

Ensure that this power supply cord is connected to a properly grounded mains receptacle.

6.Connect the input signal cables from the desired signal source to the INPUT A and INPUT B BNC connectors on the rear panel.

7.Connect up to eight cables to the OUTPUT BNC connectors on the rear panel to supply users with a copy of the input signal.

8.(Optional.) Connect a shielded LAN cable to the Ethernet port on the rear panel of the 4092A.

„For information about configuring the network connection, see “2.3 Assigning a Static IP Address” on page 6.

2.3Assigning a Static IP Address

The 4092A contains a Lantronix® Xport™ Ethernet to RS-232 converter, which provides the 4092A’s Ethernet connection.

The 4092A ships from the factory with a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, which enables DHCP. If the network has a DHCP server, it will assign each unit an IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask when the unit starts up.
