General -> Card ID:
Set it either to “MY-16AT emulation” or “MY-8AT emulation” depending on the
standards of the console. Please refer to chapter “Device Compatibility” which settings to use for your
console.
Push button “Write” first, confirm with “OK” and press “Close” to exit the dialog.
Check your console if all cards inserted in the slots have been recognized correctly (please refer to your consoles
manual how to do). If you have changed the default settings for “Card ID”, a restart of your console is necessary
after the change in order to recognize the cards correctly.
You may now connect the optical LINK cables between all Optocore devices.
Note: When connecting the optical LINK cables, for convenience temporarily remove the TRI-Y cable. This
especially counts for removing the optical cables.
Check your set-up by connecting to any device using either RS232 or USB connection, running the OPTOCORE
CONTROL software and starting “Online Mode” in the “Set” menu. The entire network at its current state is now
displayed in the control software. Check the “log window” for any error messages.
Optionally you may connect the TRI-Y cable to the HA Remote port of your console and attach any Ethernet
device to the LAN port of your YG2 card.
