• Ground the equipment (operation of ungrounded equipment is strictly
forbidden and can result in the multiplexer failure as well as in the failure of
other equipment coupled to it);
• Connect the terminal equipment by using the corresponding cables;
• Interconnect the MONITOR connector on the device or shelf (FG-R-W-E, FG-
COMPACT, or FG-LIT) and the serial RS-232 port on the PC (terminal) by
