Before running the soft front panel, you must enable A24 or A32
accesses to the VME-MXI-2 that you want to configure. You can do
this either by using a VXIbus Resource Manager or by programming
the VXIbus Offset Register (VOR) and setting the A24/A32 ENABLE
bit in the VXIbus Control Register (VCR) as described in the VMEbus
A24/A32 Registers section of Chapter 4, Register Descriptions.
If you have more than one mainframe extender, you must also initialize
any Extender Window registers on extenders between the host and the
VME-MXI-2 so that the host can access both the VXIbus configuration
(A16) registers and the A24/A32 space of the VME-MXI-2. Notice that
if you are using a VXIbus Resource Manager, the initialization is
performed automatically.
Using the Soft Front Panel
After successfully running the soft front panel, you will see the panel as
shown in Figure 6-1.
