HP E1368A manual Card Numbers for Multiple-Module Switchboxes

The logical addresses noted in Figure 1-2 apply to modules installed in an HP 75000 Series B Mainframe (HP Model Number E1300/E1301) or in a mainframe with an HP E1405/E1406 Command Module. See the HP 75000 Series B Installation and Getting Started Guide or the appropriate HP Command Module Manual for more information on switchboxes and logical addressing.

Figure 1-2. Card Numbers for Multiple-Module Switchboxes

Channel Numbers The channel number identifies the channel within a module. The Microwave Switch channel number depends on the module (HP E1368A Microwave Switch or HP E1369A Microwave Switch Driver).

∙HP E1368A. Valid channel numbers are 00-04 (channels 03 and 04 are valid but not connected).

∙HP E1369A. Valid channel numbers are 00-04.

∙HP E1370A. Valid channel numbers are 00-04.

Channel Address For the Microwave Switch Modules, the channel address (channel_list) is in the form:

∙(@ccnn) for a single channel

∙(@ccnn, ccnn) for multiple channels

∙(@ccnn:ccnn) for sequential channels

∙(@ccnn:ccnn, ccnn:ccnn) for groups of sequential channels

∙or any combination of the above

where "cc" is the card number and "nn" is the channel number. For example, command string to close channel 02 of card number 1 is:

CLOSe (@0102)

Since "cc" (the card number) must be sent, it becomes part of the channel number. Also, you can ignore leading zeros in the card numbers. Thus, to close channel 02, send "102" instead of "0102". To close the above channel, execute:

CLOSe (@102)
