AT&T IPC-1600 manual Assigning an I/O Address

Installation Procedures

Assigning an I/O Address

The system now displays a list of available I/O addresses and prompts you to enter the I/O address to be assigned to the board. The IPC-1600 comes from the factory with the I/O address set to 100h; if I/O address 100h is already assigned, the first available I/O address in the displayed list appears as the default. The hardware I/O address will be set to match the software assignment(s) later in Chapter 4. The following is an example of how the display and prompt may appear on your screen:

Please enter the following system configuration information for IPC-1600 Board 1. The available starting I/O addresses for the IPC-1600 Board 1 are:

Starting I/O address: 100 (default)

Starting I/O address: 110

Starting I/O address: 120

Starting I/O address: 200

Starting I/O address: 220

Starting I/O address: 300

Starting I/O address: 320

Type the starting I/O address and strike the ENTER key or type Q to cancel installation. Striking the ENTER alone will select the default:

Remember that if you are adding more than one board, the I/O address range should not conflict with any other boards in the system. Each board in the system must be assigned a unique I/O address.

Either press the ENTER key (to enter the default) or type in the name of the starting I/O address that you wish to assign and then press ENTER.

Be sure to write down the address(es) that you specify.
