Setting the Card’s Switches

ATTENTION: When setting the switches, be sure to avoid touching
other components on the card.

1. Follow the card handling instructions on page 4.

2. Remove the card from the anti-static clamshell.

Important:

When selecting configuration settings, check for conflicts with
other interface cards and system memory. If there is a conflict,
the host computer will not operate properly.

You must find a way to disable caching and shadow memory for at least the 16K
of memory space occupied by each card. This can usually be accomplished
through your CMOS setup program and/or memory manager, and must be done
before running applications with the KTCX15 cards.

ControlNet network

1784-KTCX15

The 1786-CP cable can be plugged into any ControlNet product’s NAP to provide
programming capability on the ControlNet network. A programming terminal connected
through this cable is counted as a node and must have a unique address.

ATTENTION: If you connect the product to a cable system that does
not support redundant media, connect the tap dropline to the BNC
connector labeled channel A. Channel B is left open.

If the cable system is redundant, connect the product such that all
devices on the network use the same cable for the same channel.
That is, all channel A connectors connect to one cable; all channel B
connectors connect to the other.
