Board Number and Connector Numbering
Since it is possible to support multiple boards of the same type, and it is possible that there are
multiple connectors on some of the boards, the following format was devised to identify
specific connections to the LINCS platform:
brd#.con where:
brd represents the 3 character board mnemonic described above.
# represents a number 1-9 or letters a-d, identifying the instance of the board that you are
referring to.
A period ( . ) used as a separator.
con representing a three digit number representing the connector number on the board.
Examples:
ESC1
(first ESCON interface card)
MCC1.003
(port 3 on the first MCC board)
ADAA.007
(8
th
ASCII port on 1
st
Asynchronous Device Adapter)
