Figure 6-8. VXI/VME-MXI-2 Configuration Editor
LA Selection and Logical Address
You can set or modify the logical address of the VXI/VME-MXI-2
either within the VXI/VME-MXI-2 Configuration Editor itself or
with the onboard 8-position DIP switch. To select the configuration
method you prefer, use the LA Selection controls.
The default selection is the Switch option. Notice that the Logical
Address control is inaccessible, since it would have no effect. In this
option you need to change the hardware switch setting on the
VXI/VME-MXI-2 itself if you want to change the logical address.
If you select Software for this option, you can then use the Logical
Address control to select a logical address within the range of 1 to 254.
If you use this option, the hardware switch setting has no effect and you
must use the VXI/VME-MXI-2 Configuration Editor to change the
logical address.
