6. Attach the Program Interface (PI) device cable to the KB0 programming port
connector on the front panel of the MEX-IP2 if not already attached. The
installation of shared service and peripheral interface cards into a Coral system
has considerable impact on the system database. Refer to Chapter 6 of the Program
Interface & Database Reference Manual
for more information. Using the PI, verify
that each of the parameters detailed below contain the appropriate information.
7. Access the card list branch of the PI (Route: CLIS) to verify that the cards are
properly recognized and initialized by the Coral IPx 800 main cage MEX-IP2
processor.
The following table appears on the PI terminal:
The following is an explanation of the CLIS fields:
Shelf Number............ In Coral IPx 800 system, the main cage is designated shelf #0; the
first expansion cage is labeled shelf #1; the second expansion cage
is labeled shelf #2. the Master main cage is designated shelf #0;
the Slave main cage is designated shelf #8; the odd expansion
cages are labeled shelf #1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15; the even expansion
cage is labeled shelf #2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14.
Slot Number .............. Identifies the slot location of the indicated card for display. In the
main cage, the range of slot numbers is 1-8; in the expansion
cage, the range of slot numbers is 1-10.
I_TYPE........................ This field should show the required card name.
If the I_Type lists a different card type this indicates that the card
slot has been previously initialized by a different card type. That
card must be relocated to a clear card slot (where the I_Type field
shows NO_CARD) or the current card slot assignment must be
cleared throughout the PI.
P_TYPE....................... Shows the card type currently located in the slot.
