Command and Control

Tip: Viz 2110 IO’s interface requires a monitor resolution setting of at least 1280x1024.

  1. Connect an external computer monitor to the HDMI port on the backplane (see Input/Output Connections).

  2. Connect the mouse and keyboard to USB ports also on the backplane.

  3. Connect the power cord to Viz 2110 IO’s backplane.

  4. Turn on the computer monitor.

  5. Press the Power switch on Viz 2110 IO’s faceplate (behind the drop-down door).

At this point, the blue Power LED illuminates, as the device boots up (if this does not happen, please check your connections and retry). Though not a requirement, we do strongly recommend that you connect the unit using an uninterruptable power supply (UPS), as for any mission critical system.

Likewise consider A/C power conditioning, especially in situations where local power is unreliable or noisy. Surge protection is especially important in some locales. Power conditioners can reduce wear on power supplies and other electronics, and provide a further measure of protection from surges, spikes, lightning and high voltage.

A word about UPS devices: Modified sine wave UPS devices are popular due to low manufacturing costs. However, such units should generally be viewed as being of low quality and possibly inadequate to fully protect the system from abnormal power events.

For a modest added cost, consider a pure sine wave UPS. These units can be relied on to supply very clean power, eliminating potential problems, and are recommended for applications demanding high reliability.
