Most Crystal Vision cards have their unique node or card location address assigned
automatically by the panel processor based on the slot occupied in the frame and the
Upper/Lower range address setting.
Older cards may have a special 16-position node switch for use with older frames such as
the FR2-12 or FR1-6.
In all of the current frames, this node switch should be set to zero (factory default).
When the front panel processor detects a card some older cards will identify their location
with a node address instead of a slot address.
The relationship between the two methods of referring to card addresses is as follows.
In the Indigo desk top box the node address is calculated as follows:
slot number minus 1 – giving a range of 0 - 1 in frame 1 and 16 - 17 in frame 2
In the 1U frame the node address is calculated as follows:
slot number minus 1 – giving a range of 0 - 5 in frame 1 and 16 - 21 in frame 2
In the 2U frame the node address is calculated as follows:
slot number minus 1 – giving a range of 0 - 11 in frame 1 and 16 - 27 in frame 2
Note:
Please refer to the FR1/2 Frame Manual for further information about node addresses.
