Configuring MPI

To configure the Multi–Platform Interface Feature, you use the twelve (12) dip switches and the rotary switch located on the Interface I/O (See Figure 1 ).

The MPI is configured differently when connected with twinax or coax cabling. You must know whether you are attaching via twinax or coax.

The MPI is set to coax or twinax communications depending upon which cable is attached to the MPI. The default value is Twinax. If the coax BNC adapter cable, part number 08H7968, is attached to the MPI, then coax is the default. If the twinax auto-termination cable, part number 14H5335, is attached to the MPI, twinax is the default. Therefore, if you want to configure the MPI for coax, the coax BNC adapter cable must be attached to the MPI

The dip switches allow you to select the emulation of the printer, character sets, IGP options, etc. If you do not know the type of printer to be emulated, consult your Data Processing department.

The rotary address switch is used to select the coax buffer size or twinax address. For both coax and twinax it is used to select diagnostics.

Table 1 and Table 2 show the different configurations possible. The selected value is indicated, as shown on the Diagnostic Test 7 Printout, by '=>>'.

To get a printout of the current interface configuration, run Diagnostic 7. See the section starting on page 48 for complete details.
