PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse
By using the optional dongle cable, a standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse may be attached to
the VX7.
1. Turn the VX7 off before attaching the keyboard dongle cable.
2. Insert the 9-pin connector end of the dongle cable into the VX7 keyboard connector.
3. Once the pins are firmly seated, tighten (turning clockwise) the thumbscrews.
4. Secure the cable with a strain relief cable clamp.
5. Attach a PS/2 keyboard and/or PS/2 mouse to the appropriately labeled PS/2 connector
on the dongle cable.
6. Turn the VX7 on.
Note: The PS/2 keyboard and mouse cannot be hot swapped. The VX7 must be turned off to
connect or disconnect PS/2 devices.
Connect Antenna
Several antenna options are available for the VX7. Options include single or dual external
antennas, remote vehicle mount antennas and an internal antenna.
External Antenna
Note: VX7’s are equipped with a radio and require an antenna. Some VX7’s may be equipped
with a dual antenna option. For these VX7’s, an external antenna must be connected to
each antenna connector.
Place the antenna over the antenna connector. Push down and twist clockwise until the
antenna is secured. Repeat for second antenna connector, if present.
Adjust the antenna angle to improve RF communications with the computer network.
Note: Substitution of antennas is not permitted unless authorized by LXE. Use of unauthorized
antennas will void the FCC emissions certification of the VX7.
Remote Vehicle Mount Antenna
The external antenna (or antennas) can be remotely mounted on the vehicle. Please refer to
