Electroluminescent Display Showing Sample Installed Cards List –
Chassis in this example has two input cards of each type, but only one
output card of each type.
Pressing the right button displays the installed cards list. The cards are listed in
the same order they are mounted in the chassis. Video and keyboard/mouse
inputs are to the left of the switch cards, and outputs are to the right. Serial cards
are additionally specified as “
SI
” for input cards and “
SO
” for output cards when
installed. The port numbering scheme is also displayed for installed cards. If a
slot has no numbers, there is no card installed in that slot. The control card is not
displayed on the cards list. It is assumed that the control card is present if the EL
display is operational.
The installed cards list also displays the communication and options settings that
are set using the control card DIP switches. The communication settings for the
control card IN port are displayed as “
Serial Settings:
”, while the options
settings (those set on DIP switch SW 3) are simply displayed as “
Options:
”.
