SW1
Configuration
Switch 6 on DIP switch block SW1 set on. One to 8 ACM modules stacked together, with only one bus cable between the NT960/PCI Host adapter and the first ACM module.
Switch 6 on DIP switch block SW1 set off. Any number of ACM modules with 2 bus cables (one cable between the NT960/PCI Host adapter and the first ACM, and then another cable somewhere between the first ACM and last ACM).
The steps to connect ACM/16, ACM/16RJ and ACM/Flex16 external modules to a NT960/PCI Host Adapter are:
1.Turn off or disconnect the power to the computer containing the NT960/PCI Host Adapter.
2.Connect the ACM/16, ACM/16RJ or ACM/Flex16 to the NT960/PCI Host Adapter with the DB37 bus cable supplied.
3.If you are connecting more than one ACM/16, ACM/16RJ or and/or ACM/Flex16 to the Host Adapter, verify that each module has a unique address switch setting.
4.The NT960/PCI Host Adapter can connect up to a maximum of eight ACM/16, ACM/16RJ and/or ACM/Flex16 modules giving you a total of 128 ports. You can connect the modules directly to each other. When connecting the modules to each other please attach metal straps between each module.
5.After you connect the ACM/16, ACM/16RJ and/or ACM/Flex16 modules to the Host Adapter and to each other, connect the ACM/16, ACM/16RJ or ACM/Flex16 power supply to the module and then plug it into your power source.
