To communicate with external devices such as terminals, the
ControlNet Adapter Board uses the SCANport communications
protocol. You can access the SCANport capabilities without doing
any special configuration. However, if you plan to use SCANport,
you can make some changes to the default configuration to
customize the way SCANport works for you. Chapter 5,
Understanding the Resources of Your Drive, contains information
about SCANport and how you can change the default configuration.
The ControlNet Adapter Board is shipped pre-configured. Some of
the inputs and outputs to the board are linked to a pre-defined signal.
Figure 2.4 shows the 1336 FORCE standard configuration for the
ControlNet Adapter Board. You can change this and re-configure
the drive on a per-application basis.
Note: When a link is set up, the data is transferred from the
configured source to a sink every millisecond.
