4Turn on the server.

You’re now ready to begin using your microphone.

You may want to install software that enables you to give spoken commands to the server, get computer-voice feedback to your spoken commands, and have the server read text to you. For information about installing software on your server, see Chapter 3, “Using Application Software,” in the Workgroup Server Administrator’s Guide. To set the sound options for your microphone, see “Choosing Sound Devices and Alert Sounds” in Chapter 1 of the Workgroup Server Administrator’s Guide. For further instructions on how to use speech software, see the “Speech” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

Connecting external stereo speakers

You can take advantage of your server’s stereo sound output by attaching externally powered (amplified) speakers.

1Assemble the speakers and the cable you need.

You need a cable with stereo miniplugs at each end to connect one or both speakers to the server. (Some speakers require a dual-plug adapter. Others, like those shown in the next illustration, accept a single stereo miniplug and are joined by standard speaker wires.)

2Turn off the server.

3Plug a stereo miniplug into the sound output port (-) on the server.

4Plug a stereo miniplug into the Audio In port on one of the speakers.

If the speakers take a dual-plug cable, connect both plugs.
