Additional Module Configurations for FLEX-based Encoders
lists the module configurations available for FLEX-based encoders.
NOTE:
ASI Input modules (used with the FLEX-1 Module) and ASI Output modules utilize the same
hardware, but perform different functions based on; 1) the slot number and 2) if a FLEX-1 Module is
installed. If installed in slots #2 or 5 the ASI module is always an output, If a FLEX-1 Module is
installed, an ASI module installed in slots #1 or 3 is an input.

Notes
FLEX
n
Slot #4 must be populated
first.
n
Slot #5 is populated second.
(1-2 modules per chassis)
ASI Input
n
Slot #1 (typical), slot #3 if slot
1 is already in use.
n
ASI input modules cannot use
slot #4 as it is used for first
FLEX module.
(1 card per chassis)
n
For FLEX only chassis, the
FLEX-1 Module goes into slot
#4 and #5. Slot #4 must be
populated first.
n
For baseband and
compressed mixed input
encoders, the FLEX-1 Module
can be either slot #4 or #5.
ASI input is currently only for
FLEX module. ASI in slots 1, 3,
and 4 appears as an input card.
