Ethernet and USB Ports
An Ethernet port and different types of external USB ports are available via a dongle cable
attached to the port labeled “ETHERNET/USB”, located on the bottom of the VX6. Please refer
to the illustrations below for the connectors available via dongle cable.
1. Power off the VX6 before connecting the D15 connector to the VX6.
2. Insert the D15 end of the Ethernet/USB dongle cable into the VX6 USB connector. Seat the
connector firmly over the pins and turn the thumbscrews in a clockwise direction. Do not
over tighten.
3. Use a strain relief clamp to secure the cable.
Note: The VX6 may be powered On any time after the D15 connector has been
secured to the VX6.
4. Plug the desired device, such as a USB mouse or floppy drive, into the end of the dongle
cable with the USB port. Refer to the documentation for your USB device for more details on
installation. USB devices may be installed, removed or swapped without turning off the VX6.
5. Insert the network cable and ensure it is firmly seated in the connector jack.
6. To remove the Ethernet cable, press the release tab on the cable end.
USB Mouse
The USB port may be used to connect a USB mouse to the VX6, however the mouse pointer
may not always be visible. Please see “Touchscreen and USB Mouse” later in this manual for
