does anyone know how to hook a Lanier model LX231(sm)
Posted By: Lanier challenged on 2006-07-13
In Reply to:
with the LX-231 adapter to the power supply and flat modem box? I'm confused as to where all the cords go. On the adapter there are three cords. One says station (that I assume goes to the actual transcription box with the key pad on it), another cord that goes to the power supply and another that says it goes to the telephone line. I'm not sure where all the cords go in relation to the modem. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? TIA

Lanier hook up
I purchased a Lanier 230 and come to find out it did not come with the required cables to hook this stupid thing up. I got the base unit with large display, the power supply, the foot pedal, and the VTI but no cables. Can someone tell me what cables I need and how to plug it in so it will run properly? The only thing that came with it is the quick check brochure on how to program it. Nothing is mentioned on hook up.
Thank you in advance everyone. I would like to get to work on an account but don't even know how to get started. I figured posting here would get a quicker response. I don't want to go bald... hehe
Hi, Deeni! I did Lanier for several years and was always told that Lanier....sm
would only work with/accept/interface with other Lanier products, that everything was proprietary, but that was a few years ago and do not know if anything there has changed, wish I was of more help! Have a good one!
Can you just hook up what you want?
I would prefer to just hook up my external keyboard and mouse that I use for my regular computer but would prefer to use my laptop's monitor. I assume you can just plug in what you want to be able to switch back and forth,correct?
I have a nice large LCD monitor, but I have room for my laptop to sit right in front of at my desk so I would just as soon use that as it seems at a more comfortable level for my eyes for viewing. My big monitor is on a pedestal on an L-shaped (corner) desk and I think is actually up too high probably for someone short like myself. I don't think I can take the pedestal/stand off my monitor either as it wouldn't sit safely where my monitor is suppose to sit. :(
I have been using my laptop for my on-line job as it is faster than my regular computer anyway. I use my regular computer for my own account, unless traveling, then I will be doing my own account on it when we camp on week-ends when I have work to do. :D
TIA.
Sony hook-over-the-ear (sm)
Okay, so I don't know what you really call them, but I have tried sooo many different types of earphones because I am kind of funny about what feels good on my head.
I found these little Sony earphones that have a hook that is kind of like a pair of eyeglasses that holds the sponge-covered speaker to the outside of your ear. They are on a "Y" wire, so there is nothing over the head, and you can use just one if you need an ear to hear what the kids are getting into.
I bought mine at Radio Shack for about $20.00 last year, but I've seen them other places (probably even Walmart), so I'm sure if you're interested, you can find them. Sorry I can't remember what they are called. If not, e-mail me and I will take a picture of them and send it to you.
Which model
did you purchase? Did you get them at the Bose site? If so, they told me there is a 30-day time period in which you can return them if you are not satisfied. They are just too pricey if they don't get the job done!
Our equipment was free, no hook up fee. (nm)

Can you hook up two monitors to your computer? sm
That way, you can have the labs screen up all the time on the right screen while you are transcribing on the left screen. Then when you need to copy lab values, they are right there for you to read and type or copy and paste.
Maybe it is just the particular model/brand
I have had I believe three Fantoms now (first one so heavy so bought second one years later, then ran over big screw and broke the bar on the bottom of the second one). I have the HEPA filters and have never had to do anything with them - not even change them as mine have a button that is suppose to pop up to tell you when it needs to be replaced. I have probably owned these over the past 10 years or more.
You are right, emptying the cannister can be a little messy - I do what you do and go outside, use a plastic grocery bag to empty it in (or better yet have husband do it) as I, too, have severe allergies.
If I had to choose though, I would still go bagless as I hated changing and buying the bags and once they got about half full you didn't get the suction like you do with an empty bag/cannister.
I am not familiar with the type you have where you have to clean the filter. Ugh.
I have an older model sm
Can't use it while I'm typing. If I crank the massage action up so that my back feels good, then there is too much vibration and I literally cannot focus on the monitor. I am not sure if the newer models are like this or not.
There's a quota of so many per each model for that

Well...get a late model
I would go to the different stores and website to find one that is new but last years model if you don't want Vista. They are starting to be preinstalled.
Personally, I love my Gateway and they have all american customer service and tech support. It is nice to call and talk to someone that can understand me the first time! They have been very prompt and understand that my system is important for work. I have only had one minor issue which was probably me and not the computer.
I am wireless and hook foot pedal into hub. nm

Normal people don't need to hook up from behind a monitor
To sink to this level of desperation someone (especially a man) has to be:
1. Married.
2. Ugly.
3. Socially retarded and unable to meet people the real way.
It's a new level of sad.
So totally not true. I hook up after talking with them on
the phone. When you work at home WHERE are you going to meet them? I am very much not a misfit, am outgoing, but when you live in a married world, it is difficult to meet single guys. There are lots of single guys in the same rut. Think what you will. I have met some nice men from the sites who were neither ugly, married OR socially retarded. One was a judge...yes...a judge! We still see each other.
but Janelle did take her left hand off the hook
DENYING that she took her hand off the hook on the volcano. She most certainly did and the ENTIRE audience viewing at home saw that. I hope Julie Chen shows Janelle all the footage of that.
to hook 2 computers to cable internet do ?
you need a router and a KVM switch - what else? Will this cause problems?
Need to hook up a USB pedal to RealPlayer. I'm sure this has been addressed before. sm
I have a test wave file I need to play. It runs fine from my desktop, but I can't get the pedal to work. I have an Infinity In-USB-1 I just plugged into the hard drive, but it will not play the file. Will this work wtih RealPlayer? TIA.
mine is a Belkin - easy to hook up
think I paid about 35.00 but it is a little white button that you toggle back and forth. Great little thing. I spent forever rolling chair back and forth between computers. Got it at Staples.
Actually, I don't know if your model of footpedal is going to work or not.

IBM model M-15 split ergonomic
I bought one of these keyboards from www.clickykeyboards.com
Fully adjustable for any typing angles like Goldtouch, but much better key feel.
Priceless keyboard that I hope to use for next 20 years.
I can't remember the exact model, but.....
We go the one that would go into a waterbed frame (as that is what we have), but it wil also go onto a regular frame. We also got a king size(it is great. We also chose the dual chamber model (I don't think it is any more expensive) so that I can set my number and my husband can set his. We have a friend who only got the single chamber and when his wife gets in or out of bed the number isn't the same any more. So I would highly recommend the dual chamber if you share a bed. As far as the exact model number I can't remember...but with it having to fit into the waterbed frame and wanting a King there was only 1 model number to choose from and I think it was the 5000. Good luck...you will absolutely love this bed!
A4tech anti-RSI model KB(s)-8
I've tried all the expensive ergonomic keyboards mentioned here in the past and never found one I liked. Back in the day, Keytronics made a great keyboard (some 15 or 20 years ago) but they aren't the same now. I've been using this A4tech anti-RSI KB(S)-8 for a couple of years and it is fantastic. I heard about it on another board and thought, how can it be that great when it's only $20? But it really is the best keyboard I've owned in 20 years. Plus you can program some of the keys to open programs or perform tasks, even keystrokes. The keyboard comes with a wrist rest, which is completely useless to me, but it comes off easily so that's not a problem.
Thanks. I was looking at the Infinity USB VE-INUSB model
Just trying to convince myself that was what I should get. It's nice to know I'm not the only one around on a Saturday night! Thanks again.
Go online and put in your make and model.....

I believe your foot pedal has to be a DVI model

Which model? Not all have lock keys. sm
I have a Logitech cordless that doesn't have lock keys. Did you try to Google your model to see if somebody else has had the same problem?
I'll let you off the hook since you're also a Mustang lover.
I just like the '67s and '68s better because they're a little bigger and more rounded in the body style than the earlier years. I dreamt of owning a Mustang for 20 years before I got one.
Some new puters don't have 9- or 15-pin ports anymore. You'd need a USB adapter to hook one up

I was thinking along that line when there's no role model
Rich kids are raised by nannies, butlers, au pairs, tutors. Parents are hardly there to give them morals. They learn from the streets and the streets are pretty skanky these days.
You're welcome. You can find Model M's on eBay
I think I'd go with clickykeyboards.com for their trustworthiness and service and all. You can get some in the $35-40 range there. (Check to be sure if it has a ps/2 connector, unless you have an AT/5-pin inlet on your computer. You can buy an AT to ps/2 adaptor from them or at most office supply stores fairly easily, though.)
I think you'll be pleased. Much as I liked my NMB, I wouldn't ever buy even a vintage/used one of those since I just don't think that model and brand has much longevity, apparently.

Belkin Ergonomic, Model # F8E208
If you Google it, you will come up with tons of places to buy it from. I bought mine at Target for 30 bucks, well worth it and more.
What model is the unit? I used one a long time ago..sm
However, the doctors called into it to dictate. There was a hard drive with it that was connected to phone line. I would log in on the machine and pick up the jobs to transcribe. Is it similar to that? Or is this something else? There is also a Philips call-in station that hooks to phone line, but that's only for the docs to call and dictate.
How are you using the Philips to get work from your friend, that's what I don't understand? Does the friend have the same system? Just trying to figure out the setup and how to be more helpful. I know I once tried to use the Philips call-in to re-record dictation from a microcassette and it wouldn't recognize it and just timed out. It would only accept an actual voice, and that was using landline phone, so I think they do have certain parameters set up. It might be that the Vonage isn't compatible. Maybe you could call a Philips tech support person and ask. There's a tech number in the manual and on their website.
yeap, hoochies looking to hook their claws into a guy with any kind of money.

Oh and don't you love the "WOW, you work from home?? HEY! I can type - hook me up!" sm
That burns my hiney more than anything else. Working from home is NOT a piece of cake. I can relate to those who think since we work from home we can just get up anytime. I don't know how many times I have tried to explain that if I were working in a "traditional" office, that they wouldn't just walk in, call, etc. etc. but I don't think anybody will ever really get that our time is money, literally.

Hmm. I thought Unicomp made keyboards similar to the IBM Model M
That was the old clackity clack buckling spring keyboard. You get a real IBM keyboard on ebay or clickykeyboards fairly cheap. The key markings are part of the key itself and never wear out. They are exceptionally NOISY though and you need a special USB converter to make it work with a USB connection. The Omni is a mechanical keyswitch which I think is even better than the buckling spring, just like the poster who posted about it. Those key markings never wear out either. Mechanical keyboards have a wonderful touch but they don't make very many any more. Too expensive to produce and instead we have the $10-20 dollar rubber dome "quiet" keyboards that feel like typing on a wet sponge. Some people though like that wet sponge feel but I think they are slower keyboards and harder to type on. Just a preference even though they are noiser. And for some it does not matter how spongy or squashy the keys are as long as the keyboard is quiet they are happy. Different strokes I guess.
Got floor model of chair that was perfect fit. Final mark down was $40. Went got home saw original
:P
I use my c-phone whenever we travel. You can hook it directly into your room phone. Be sure and as
xx
You plug it into an outlet, plug in the phone cord, hook up the
footpedal and the headset and it works.
If you use a standard keyboard you can buy an old IBM model M keyboard on ebay or clickykeyboards.co
That key printing never wear down because the letters are part of the key itself. They just don't make them that way anymore because it is too expensive to make. Some of the mechanical keyboards like Cherry have what they double shot key imprinting and the letters are part of the key itself and don't wear off. That IBM keyboard is very noisy from the type of keyswitch it has so you may not like that. Logitech and Belkin make some membrane switch keyboards that are supposed to have longer lasting key imprints. I have a logitech that has the longer lasting key imprints and it is pretty good. You have to look on the specs to find out if has the longer lasting key printing.
I have experimented so much with keyboards and have done a lot of research. Way too much info.
Lanier
Yes Transcend uses the voice writer on certain accounts. Just started using it.
Lanier VXP??
Anybody use Lanier VPX? I can't get my wav pedal to play these files. Any suggestions?
Lanier VXP
These can only be played with a Lanier footpedal. They have a proprietorial header on the voice file and cannot be opened without the appropriate footpedal.
I have a lanier - sm
I would like to know more too. Thanks.

Does anyone use a lanier voice writer and looking for extra work? Thanks!

I know this may be redundant, but try unplugging everything and then start over. I have had this happen and it corrected it. Good luck!
