Media bay module Bus numbers
Under the headings for DS30 02 to 07 (or 02 to 06 if your system has a 3/5 DS30 split):
• Station or analog station modules ( “Viewing station module information” on page 155 ) display
the Ports on Bus heading.
• Trunk modules ( “Defining trunk module types and settings” on page 142 ) display from one to
four Module <#> headings. These modules correspond to the offset configured on the module.
A Ports on Bus heading also appears for some types of modules (DTM set to PRI, and the
BRI modules).
• If you have a WAN board installed in the base unit, DS30 08 does not appear. Bus 08 and Bus
01 are used for internal media channels. (
“Internally-driven channels” on page 158 ). If you
system is set to a 3/5 split, DS30 07 is also used for media channels.
Identifying the module
Use these steps to define a Programmed Bus Type. This setting notifies the Unified Manager about
what type of module is installed on the DS30 bus.
1
Click on the keys beside Resources , and Media Bay Modules .
2 Click a Bus (Bus 02 to 07).
Tips: Bus number is determined by the DS30 number set on the DIP switches of the module
before it was installed.
The Bus screen appears.
3 Ensure the entry in the Programmed Bus Type field agrees with the Actual Bus Type of
module that is installed for the DS30 bus, as shown in the following figure. Refer also to
“Module types and capacities” on page 140 .
Tips: Some modules are region-based. If your system does not have the correct region
installed during setup, the modules will not work. Refer to “Media bay module availability
by region” on page 837 .
