14 AXIS AX-3 Cobra+ User’s Manual
System Attachment
When your AX-3 Cobra+ is configured, and verified by a test printout,
the next step is to connect it to the IBM host.
1. Find a free device address on the twinax port. The selected address
must be configured to hold an IBM printer of the type the AX-3
Cobra+ will emulate. If in doubt, ask your system manager.
2. Switch off the AX-3 Cobra+ by switching off the printer, or if an
external power supply is used, by unplugging the power cord.
3. Set the device address (0-6) on the rotary switch.
4. Connect the Axis T-cable bar to the twinax cables. Please do not
disconnect the Twinax line without permission from your system
manager.
5. Connect the third end of the Axis T-cable to the AX-3 Cobra+.
6. Switch on the AX-3 Cobra+ (switch on the printer or plug in the
external power supply).
The POWER indicator is lit. The SYSTEM indicator flashes for a few
seconds and is then constantly lit.
To verify the attachment, make a printout.
You have completed the installation procedure, and your AX-3
Cobra+ is ready for use. It will not need any attendance or service
during normal operation.
