CHAPTER 4: Installation and Initial Configuration

j.Press [Enter] to access the dedicated Selection Menu for that subsidiary Base Unit. Verify that new names appear in the Selection Menu in green.

k.If you are configuring a second-tier subsidiary Base Unit, and there are any third-tier Base Units attached to it, repeat steps c through j for a third-tier path. Press “S” to save the configuration. Press [F2] to bring up the third- tier Selection menu and verify that the third-tier Base Unit is properly configured: Select a channel for the second-tier path and press [Enter], then a channel for the third-tier path and press [Enter], then a channel for a CPU attached to the third-tier Base Unit and press [Enter]. If you can properly access and operate the chosen CPU, the third-tier Base Unit is properly installed.

Repeat the first paragraph of this step for all remaining third-tier Base Units (if any) attached to this second-tier Base Unit.

l.Press “S” to save the configuration. Press [F2] to bring up the Selection menu and verify that the second-tier Base Unit is properly configured: Select a channel for the second-tier path and press [Enter], then a channel for a CPU attached to the second-tier Base Unit and press [Enter]. If you can properly access and operate the chosen CPU, the second-tier Base Unit is properly installed.

m.Repeat steps c through l for all remaining (if any) second-tier Base Units attached to the master Base Unit.

n.Edit the names of any computer CPUs directly attached to the master Base Unit and verify the master Base Unit’s configuration as described in steps 6b through 6e of Section 4.2.

CAUTION!

If you rearrange a cascaded system or dismantle one and rebuild it differently later, you must perform a soft reset on each Base Unit in the new cascade. A soft reset allows each Base Unit to retain all user and system profiles, but also auto-detect the current status of its channel and user ports. Follow the installation steps in this section to install the new cascade, but when you power on each Base Unit (which must be done in proper tier order), use the pinhole reset button on the back of each unit to reset them individually. So, starting with a subsidiary Base Unit in the third tier (if there is one), power on the unit, press and hold the pinhole reset button until the LED panel flashes, release the button, and wait until the LEDs cycle through and return to their original state. Repeat for any other third-tier units, then all second-tier units, and finally the master.
