Status Display for Installed Bolt Cards
Each of the ten slots in the frame that can accept a Bolt card is associated with a front panel
display that shows the Bolt card type, and signal presence on its channels. These displays
occupy the right-hand section of the front panel.
End-to-End Channel Assignments
Generally, all channels match 1-to-1 through the system, and this is reflected in the Signal
Presence LED display. If you place a signal on channel 1 at one end of the system, it arrives
on channel 1 at the other end.
Exception: the Data Bolt card has four bi-directional channels, and the LEDs identify
channel occupancy and signal direction. At each end, LEDs 1-4 represent inputs at that end,
and LEDs 5-8 indicate outputs arriving from the other end. The matching is: 1 in —> 5 out, 2
in —> 6 out, 3 in —> 7 out, and 4 in —> 8 out.
