Option 01 VXI Interface Module User Manual

3–23

In these examples the Option 01 is installed on a VX4330 Module. Two addi-
tional VX4330 Modules are installed in consecutive slots to the right of this
module.

Command

Response

 

Set all six sections of the first VX4330 to mux mode.

Configure all six sections of the first VX4330 to 20-to-1 2-wire
scanner/mux.

 

   

Close the first 10 relays in section one of the first VX4330.
