Data Communications Setup

Introduction

This chapter provides maintenance personnel instructions for making the
operational settings for the Advance DataNET Hub (DNH). Once these
operational settings are made the DNH will function as a communication
router on an Advance Communication System (ACS) network.

The DNH consists of two identical hubs (‘A’ Half and ‘B’ Half) in one en-
closure. Each hub half contains a communication board and RS-232
Configuration port. Both communication boards must be configured in
order for both hubs to communicate on the ACS.

Review Chapter 4, Command Line Summary. Chapter 4 provides defini-
tions for all of the commands you will be using in this chapter.

Perform the following checklist before setting up the data communication
protocol.
