Handset Setup Procedures

Model 494.05 Handset Connections

The Model 494.05 Handset connects to one of the following serial boards:
FlexTest 40, 60, 100, 200 systems—a Model 494.47 Dual UART/Digital
Transducer Conditioner mezzanine card that is installed on a Model 494.40
I/O Carrier board can support up to two handsets.
FlexTest IIm, GT, and TestStar IIm systems—a Model 498.71B GRES III
board can support up to four handsets.
Sharing handsets When you use the Station Manager application to select a handset, that handset
cannot be used by other stations. To assign the handset to a different station, you
must first deselect the handset from a station (change handset selection to None).
You can then go to another station and use the Station Manager application to
select the handset.
To use the handset on a different system, disconnect the handset from the I/O
carrier and the Station Manager application automatically deselects the handset
from any station. You can then plug the handset into a different system whose
.hwi file includes a handset.
Handset cables Handset cables are available in different lengths ranging from 3–30.5 m
(9.8–100 ft). The maximum cable length is 61 m (200 ft.).
