The AXEL AX3000 Terminal is based on a modular concept.
VGA / SVGA
standard monitor
standard keyboard
AX3000
The AX3000 is totally designed and manufactured by Axel. The terminal's
electronics is contained within a slim base unit which provides connections
for a VGA or SVGA monitor, keyboard, system printer, serial devices and
Ethernet network.

1 - SAFETY NOTICES
 Do not attempt to fix a AX3000 component failure by opening the terminal
case. In case of hardware failure, contact your service representative.
 Check AC voltage from the wall outlet is inside 220-240 Volts range.
 Make sure to use a properly grounded AC power outlet (3 poles: phase,
neutral and ground with no resistance between neutral and ground pole).
 The wall outlets used must be reached easily and as nearest as possible to the
AX3000 Platine Terminal to connect or disconnect the power cords.
 Make sure to power off all devices before connecting or disconnecting any one
of them (monitor VGA cable, keyboard and serial or parallel cables).
 In order to ensure compliance with European EMC regulations (EN 55022), it
is required that shielded cables be used when interfacing with other devices
(peripherals or computers).
 To install and connect the keyboard and the monitor, refer to the respective
supplier installation manuals.

on.
The AX3000 has the following connectors and switches on the rear panel:
- one power switch,
- one male power connector for the AX3000,
- one female power connector for a monitor,
- one Mini-DIN connector for an AT/PS style keyboard,
- one connector for a VGA or SVGA monitor (colour or monochrome),
- one auxiliary serial port: female 25-pin (MAIN-AUX1),
- one auxiliary serial port: RJ45 (AUX2),
- one TCP/IP port: RJ45 (10BT),
- one auxiliary parallel port: female 25-pin (PARALLEL).

2.2 - INSTALLATION
For safety reasons and to prevent component damage, do not apply power to
the AX3000 before connecting or disconnecting any cable. Do not plug in the
AX3000 power cord until all other connectors have been plugged in.

Installation
________________________________________________________________
Installation Guide - Model 55 3
Make sure the AX3000 and monitor power switches are in the OFF (0) position
before connecting cables to the back panel.
1 : ON
0 : OFF
2.2.1 - Monitor and keyboard
Plug in the VGA monitor cable and the AT-compatible keyboard cable to the
dedicated connectors on the terminal back panel:
- VGA Monitor (VGA): female 15-pin high density connector
- Keyboard (KB): female 6-pin Mini-DIN connector

If your keyboard is fitted with a DIN connector, connect it using a DIN-to-Mini-
DIN adaptor.

Installation

4 Installation Guide - Model 55
To comply with EMC regulations, the VGA signal cable must be shielded.
If the VGA monitor has a standard AC power cord, fitted with the correct plug for
your local mains electricity supply, connect it directly to a mains power socket
outlet. If not, connect the male AC connector on the monitor cable to the female
AC socket on the terminal back panel. With this arrangement, the monitor’s AC
power will be controlled by the terminal power switch.
Note: when the terminal is installed in a cabinet or rack, it is essential to
maintain air circulation around the VGA/SVGA monitor.
2.2.2 - Ethernet Connection
Plug the RJ45 connector on the end of the 10Base-T cable into the socket
labelled 10BT on the back of the AX3000 (see chapter 4.1 for technical
specifications and pin assignments).

ETHERNET
ETHERNET CONNECTION INDICATOR LIGHT: This indicator is a green
LED, located next to the RJ45 connector on the rear of the terminal. It
lights to indicate a satisfactory connection to the Ethernet circuit (server
or hub).

Installation
________________________________________________________________
Installation Guide - Model 55 5
Note: if the LED does not light, check that the Ethernet connector and cable
both comply with the specifications listed in chapter 4.1.
2.2.3 - Auxiliary Ports
AX3000 Models 55 have three auxiliary ports as a standard feature:
- MAIN-AUX1: bi-directional serial port, female 25-pin DTE connector,
- AUX2: bi-directional serial port, RJ45 connector,
- PARALLEL: parallel port, female 25-pin connector.
Cable pin assignments are listed in chapter 4.
To comply with EMC regulations, the serial cables must be shielded.
2.2.4 - Power On
Connect the AX3000 power cord to an earthed mains power socket. If the VGA
monitor is not powered from the AX3000 secondary AC plug, connect its power
cord to an earthed power socket.
When the monitor is powered from the AX3000 back panel, the AX3000 power
switch also controls the monitor's AC power.
1 : ON
0 : OFF
The green LED on the front of the terminal should light, and a single audible
beep should be heard, to indicate that the AX3000 terminal is powered up and
operating correctly.

Installation

6 Installation Guide - Model 55
To indicate correct keyboard initialisation after power-up, the keyboard indicator
lights 'Num lock', 'Caps lock' and 'Scroll lock' should flash twice.
The green LED on the right side of the RJ45 connector on the back panel
remains lit, to indicate a satisfactory Ethernet connection.
If the terminal does not function as described above (for example if it emits a
continuous tone sound, or two beeps, or if an error message is displayed on the
screen) refer to chapter 5. If the terminal still does not operate properly, call your
service representative.
