AN-X2-MOD-MON
May 2016
Example:
Rack=1
After the rack definition, enter the slot definitions. They consist of the keyword Slot,
followed by an equals sign and the slot number, a comma, then the keyword Type, an
equals sign, and the module type. There should be no spaces before or after the equals
sign.
Examples:
Slot=4,Type=B804
Slot=7,Type=ACI_030_00
For rack 1, the rack definition line can be omitted. It is required for racks 2 to 5. If there is
no explicit Rack definition entry, AN-X assumes the following slot definitions are for
rack 1.
There is no EndRack command. If there is more than one rack in a drop, just start the new
rack with a Rack definition.
To view a list of supported modules, view a configuration file created by
autoconfiguration. AN-X appends a list of supported modules to the end of the file, as
comments. You can perform an autoconfiguration even if there is no network attached to
the AN-X. It will generate an empty configuration with the module list appended.
Quantum Parameter Data
Some Quantum modules have additional parameters to define configurable properties of
the module.
AN-X captures this parameter data and adds a line after the slot definition that contains
the length of the parameter data in words and the parameter data itself.
Example:
Slot=6,Type=ACO_020_00
CfgLen=6,0x8001,0x5555,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000
The leading 0x indicates a hexadecimal number.
Some Quantum discrete output modules, for example, the DRA 840 00, can be
configured either to set their outputs to the last value or to set their outputs to a user
defined value when they lose communication with the network master. AN-X captures
this setting and adds a line after the slot definition that contains the keyword CfgOutLast
Example:
Slot=4,Type=DRA_840_00
CfgOutLast
Example:
Slot=9,Type=DAO_840_00
CfgOutLast
