6.2.7 914-EX Configuration
By default, all 914-EX cards are shipped with these settings:
Remote configuration
Both Ethernet ports set to auto-negotiate all speeds (10/100/1000M) and duplex settings (full/half)
Link fault pass-through disabled.
To change these settings, connect the console 914-HDE to the 914 Diagnostic GUI via a local COM port. Ensure a
stable optical link is present and the cards are stacked together in the correct order with the correct expansion
settings as per the previous section.
From the GUI, click on the “Card Info” then “Configuration” tab as shown in Figure 6-11. Since a 914-X Series
system requires a remote and console card and all 914-EX cards are shipped by default as remote, the user
MUST
configure the 914-EX card that is installed at the console side as a console 914-EX (step 1).
Once the desired “new”
settings are selected, press apply to save them to the card (step 2). Console cards should always be viewed on the
left side of the GUI.
The Driver Voltage indicates the drive strength for the expansion interface. For 914-EX cards that are distant from
the 914-HDE (either stacked at expansion channel 2+, or are using a high speed ribbon cable) it may be necessary
to boost this from the default setting of 682 mV.
This setting should never be set below 682 mV.
