1.
Push a solid wire or ferrule directly into the terminal.
2.
When inserting a stranded wire without a ferrule, first open the terminal by pressing the
push button with a finger or the included screwdriver tool.
3.
Verify that all strands of a stranded wire are securely retained.
4.
Insulated ferrules are recommended for small-gauge stranded wire. 26 AWG x 8 mm
barrel length insulated ferrules are included with the product.
Note
A ferrule crimping tool is not included with this product.
5.
Tighten the connector screw flanges to the torque specification in the
PXIe-8521
Specifications
for the best shock and vibration performance. The connector screw flanges
ship in a non-torqued configuration for easy removal.
6.
When removing a wire, first open the terminal by pressing the push button with a finger
or the included screwdriver tool.
Port Modes
The PXIe-8521 includes four ports that can be configured as independent network interfaces
on the module. The ports can function in Direct mode or Tap mode. Regardless of mode,
traffic on each port can be monitored. When monitoring is enabled, all traffic that is
transmitted or received on that port is captured. Each packet is timestamped by both the local
time keeper and the port's network time keeper. The local time keeper runs off
if
present on the chassis. Each port has an independent network time keeper, which uses IEEE
802.1AS to synchronize time with other devices on the network.
Note
Port mode cannot be changed while an XNET session is started on the port.
When the port mode is changed, port connectivity is lost while the change is
configured.
