Setting the Docking Module Configuration Switches
The docking module configuration switches determine module ID and the
order in which the modules are physically installed. Before using the Data
Cal 2000, you will need to set the configuration switches as described
below. If you are adding a module or modules to a system that is already
setup, make sure the system is setup as described below after the new
module or modules are added.
ID Switch
The ID switch is located above the right DB-15 connector on the back of
the docking module. It is a 10 position rotary switch with settings from 0
to 9. A Data Cal 2000 may have up to 10 docking modules. Each module
in the system must have a unique ID for the system to work properly.
When you receive a Data Cal 2000, set the ID setting for each module in
the system so that no two modules have the same ID. The IDs should be
set sequentially to make it easy to keep track of the IDs. For example, if
you have 5 modules in a system, the IDs should be set to 0, 1, 2, 3, & 4.
Although the system will still operate properly if ID numbers are skipped,
for example using IDs 0, 3, 4, 6, & 8, setting them sequentially makes it
easier to keep track of the module IDs and spot duplicate ID settings. If it
is necessary to change the ID on a module, use a small flat blade
screwdriver to adjust the switch to the desired setting. A small arrow in
the middle of the switch points to the current ID setting.
