For the configuration switch locations and default settings, see Figure 3-1,
NI VXIpc-882 Shipping Configuration Settings.
Note Do not attempt an alternate setting unless you are familiar with its purpose.
In addition, do not reconfigure any switches or jumpers not described in this appendix
unless directed by National Instruments support.
Slot 0 DetectionThe NI VXIpc-882 controller is configured at the factory to automatically
detect if it is installed in Slot 0 of a VXI mainframe. With automatic System
Controller slot detection the NI VXIpc-882 controller can be installed in
any VXIbus slot.
The NI VXIpc-882 controller can be manually configured for either System
Controller or Non-System Controller operation by defeating the automatic
detection circuitry. Use the three position jumper J2 as shown in Figure3-2
to select between automatic detection, System Controller, or Non-System
Controller.
