Front Panel Components:
Program port DB9 (male) connector supports RS-232 communications to your PC for system
programming and diagnostics. You set the port's communication speed with
the Baud Rate DIP switch. See the Setting the Program Port DIP
Switch section on page 5 for details.
Note: There are Program ports located on the front and rear panels of the
Master card for easy access. Because these ports share the same circuitry,
you should never use both at the same time; doing so will result in
communication and/or programming errors.
Status LED Green LED lights to indicate that the system is programmed and
communicating properly.
Output LED Red LED lights when the Master transmits data, sets channels On and Off,
sends data strings, etc.
Input LED Yellow LED lights when the Master receives data from button pushes, strings,
commands, channel levels, etc.
Front Panel LEDs -
blink patterns These LEDs also display special blink patterns when a mode is activated. See
the Modes and Front Panel LED Blink Patterns section on page 7 for details.
Program Port DIP Switch 8-position DIP switch located behind the front panel for setting the baud rate for
the Program port.
• Available baud rate settings are 9600, 38,400 (default), 57,600 and 115,200
(bps). Refer to the Setting the Program Port DIP Switch section on page 5 for
details.
Rear Panel Components:
PWR connector 2-pin (male) green captive-wire connector for 12 VDC power supply.
EXPANSION OUT port RJ11 connector connects to an AXB-SPE Server Port Expander.
Ethernet 10/100 port RJ-45 Ethernet 10/100 connector. The Ethernet port automatically negotiates
the connection speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and whether to use half duplex
or full duplex mode.
Ethernet 10/100 LEDs LEDs that show communication activity, connections, speeds, and mode
information:
• A-activity - Yellow LED blinks when receiving Ethernet data packets.
• L-link - Green LED lights when the Ethernet cables are connected and
terminated correctly.
• SPEED - Green LED lights when transmitting data at 100 Mbps, and is Off
when transmitting at 10 Mbps.
• FD-full duplex - Green LED lights when running in full duplex mode, and is Off
when running half duplex mode.
