Getting Started 2-3
Example 2:
A single Option-01T may control a group of 1260-Series
switch modules. The modules must be installed in a
contiguous group of slots in the VXIbus chassis.
Example 3:
A single Option-01T may control a mixed group of
1260-Series switch modules and Adapt-a-Switch plug-
ins. The maximum number of items in each group is
twelve. Each 1260-100 carrier counts as six plug-ins
and each 1260-101 carrier counts as two plug-ins,
regardless of the quantity of plug-ins actually installed.
For instance, a single Option-01T may control the
following group:
•
Slot 3: 1260-54 RF Switch (conventional one-slot
VXI module), equipped with Option-01T
•
Slots 4 and 5: 1260-100 Adapt-a-Switch carrier,
containing three 1260-138 plug-ins and two
1260-150 RF switch plug-ins.
•
Slot 6: 1260-22 Power Switch (conventional one-
slot VXI module)
•
Slot 7:
1260-22 Power Switch
•
Slot 8: 1260-101 Adapt-a-Switch carrier, containing
one 1260-145.
The above group counts as eleven items: the 1260-54
and 1260-22 modules count as one item each, for a total
of three. The 1260-100 carrier is considered as six
items, regardless of the number of plug-ins installed.
The 1260-101 carrier is considered as two items.
Adding these together, the total number of controlled
items is eleven. This means that there is still room to
add one 1260-Series switch modules to the group, with
the entire group controlled by one Option-01T. The
Option-01T must be installed in the 1260-54 module in
slot 3. In the case where an Option-01T controls plug-
ins residing in two adjacent carriers, the Option-01T
must be installed in the carrier on the left.
