HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The BU-65572iX is a PCI device, and as such does not require any
jumpers or switches to set the base address or interrupt values. The job
of configuration for Plug-and-Play PCI configuration is performed by the
PC BIOS. During the initial power on boot process, the BIOS performs
an enumeration of the PCI bus and provides a configuration in the
system that satisfies the card requirements. The card provides the BIOS
with details of how much memory it requires, and any other operating
parameters that the system needs to know by way of configuration
registers built into the card. These registers are configured at the factory
to contain the optimum values for the operation of the BU-65572iX. The
BU-65572iX PCI card and software drivers allow for shared interrupts,
thus simplifying the installation and reducing the risk of device conflicts.
Once the card has been properly installed, its configuration information
is stored to the Windows Registry. The card information stored in the
Registry is accessed and controlled through the use of the DDC 1553
Card Manager. The DDC 1553 Card Manager can be used to view the
status of installed cards, and map an installed card to a device number.
In order to access an installed card you must assign it a device number.
Setting up the DDC 1553 Card Manager is shown in the RTL (MN-
69068) and the Test/Sim GUI (MN-69065) manual.
