7.16.4 CEAG DSB specific PDC configuration guidelines
The following list summarizes the CEAG DSB specific PDC configuration guidelines that you must remember
while configuring the CEAG DSB PDC.
• The number of PDCs supported by CEAGDSB is 24.
• In the
Number of Channel column, the number of channels are automatically updated based on the PDC
type.
• In the Channel Number column, the channel number is automatically updated based on the number of
channels configured for the selected module.
For example, if the number of channels configured for a module is 4, then this column lists the channel
numbers as 0, 1, 2, and 3.
• In the Channel Type column, the channel type is automatically set based on the PDC type.
• In the Channel Data Type column, the channel data type is automatically set based on the PDC type.
• With R410, you can modify the values of the following parameters even after a PDC is associated and
connected to a PIOMB. However, you must ensure that you reload both the DSB and the PIOMB after
modifying the parameter value. If you do not reload both the DSB and the PIOMB, there may be a break in
the connection between the DSB and the PIOMB.
