NOTE:
ASI Input modules (used with FLEX module) and ASI Output modules utilize the same hardware,
but perform different functions based on; 1) the slot number and 2) if a FLEX module is installed. If
installed in slots #2 or 5 the ASI module is always an output, If a FLEX module is installed, an ASI module
installed in slots #1 or 3 is an input.
