2.3 Hardware Connection Summary
The following is a short summary of the steps needed to connect and congure the
DAT-Link . Following sections will expand on these steps and provide information
on using the DAT-Link with sp ecic computers.
1. Set the SCSI ID switch on the rear panel switch before p owering-up the DAT-
Link . Once the DAT-Link is turned on, the setting of the SCSI ID switch
is ignored. See the sections b elow on individual machine types for help in
selecting an unused SCSI ID numb er for the DAT-Link . Be careful not to
select a SCSI ID already in use by a disk or tap e drive. Damage to
disk contents or the computer may result!!
2. Set the Options switches on the rear of the DAT-Link . For most computers
the correct setting will b e all switches down. However, check the appropriate
machine instructions in Section 2.4 for the correct setting.
3. Connect the DAT-Link SCSI port to the host computer via a SCSI cable.
This cable must be ordered separately from the DAT-Link since it is dierent
for eachtyp e of computer. See the detailed instructions for each machine type
below for information on the type of cable required. If the DAT-Link is the
last device on the SCSI bus, connect the provided SCSI terminator between
the cable and the DAT-Link 's SCSI connector.
4. Connect the digital audio device to the DAT-Link . (See Section 2.5)
5. Connect the remote transmitter to the remote connector on the rear of the
DAT-Link and position it so that it is in the line-of-sight of the DAT machine's
infrared remote sensor.
6. Connect the external p ower supply to the DAT-Link 's +5V input.
7. Turn on the front panel power switch on the DAT-Link . The Record and
Playback LED's on the front panel should ash briey then go out. The Lock
LED may or may not turn on dep ending on whether a valid digital audio
signal is connected to one of the DAT-Link 's inputs.
2.4 Machine Sp ecic Instructions
This section explains in detail how to connect the DAT-Link to dierenttypes of
computers. You need only refer to the section for the computer of interest to install
the DAT-Link . For each machine, the mo dels and operating systems supported are
listed. The underlined entries indicate congurations which we have tested. The
manufacturers indicate that the other listed congurations should be equivalent
and work equally well. Even if your particular conguration is not listed in these
