Connecting Peripherals
Connecting Peripherals
Peripherals are connected to the Vanguard Multiport distribution cable/box with
user-supplied cables (See Figure 2 on page 7). Detailed cabling information is pro-
vided in Appendix A. All peripheral cables must be shielded to ensure proper func-
tioning of your equipment. Once you have the necessary cables, use the following
procedure.
To connect a peripheral device to the distribution
cable/box
1. Acquire the correct, shielded, peripheral cable.

2. Attach one end of the cable to the peripheral.
3. Attach the other end of the cable to one of the free connectors on the distribution
cable or box.
4. Record the slot number of the cPCI interface card and the port number of the
Aurora port in the Product Information Worksheet at the back of this manual.
Now you can set up the port services for the peripheral device.
The connectors on the distribution cable and box are numbered to match the device
names that are created when the driver software is installed. But you will also need
to know which port the peripheral is connected to when setting up its port services.
