6.1. Introduction
This chapter explains information about how to set up an Instrument Docking Station (IDS),
from plugging it in, to configuring it to use gas cylinders for calibrations and bump tests, to
viewing its status in the DSSAC.
Before you set up an IDS, be sure that the Docking Station Server (DSS) is running on your
network, since the IDS requires the DSS in order to function. Each IDS also requires an Ethernet
connection to your network as well as a power outlet.
6.2. Instrument Docking Station Diagram
Below is a diagram that shows all of the connections on the back of an IDS. The details about
how to use these connections are explained later in this chapter. Information on using clusters is
explained in Chapter 8.
