1.2.4 Front Panel Adapter
The CP346 serial I/O board is provided with a 37-pin D-Sub connector. In order to provide dis-
crete access to the separate serial I/O channels, a front panel adapter cable can be connected
to the 37-pin frontend connector. This adapter cable terminates on the user side with four, male,
9-pin, D-Sub connectors (one per serial I/O channel).
1.2.5 System-Relevant Information
1.2.5.1 Board Location in the System
Board location within a system must be considered carefully. Depending on the number of
boards, their locations in a given system, and the operating system being used by application
programs may have difficulty identifying boards properly. In particular, when configuration
changes such as board replacement, movement to another slot, etc. are made after the initial
system implementation. Therefore, any changes made to a system should be carefully consid-
ered prior to making the change and proper operation be verified before the system is put into
operation again.
1.2.5.2 Operating Systems
The CP346 can operate under the following operating systems:
• Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded
• Linux®
• VxWorks®
Drivers are supplied for these operating systems.
Note...
When configuring a system it is recommended that all boards to be
used be installed in the system prior to installing any drivers or other
board-related software. Failure to do so may result in the non-identifica-
tion of a given board or boards.
