B-2 E6198B Switch/Load Unit User Manual
B Register Definitions
Address Space
The Switch/Load Unit address space is divided as follows:
FFFSSSSSRRRRRRRR
2
where:
F = Frame select 0-7
S = Slot number 0-21 (E6918A)
R = Register offset 0-255
Use slot number 0 for Switch/Load Unit backplane access. For
Switch/Load Unit Pin Matrix, Load or Custom cards, slot
numbers are depending on the slot availability; 1-21 for E6198B.
For ease of configuration and for software auto detection, all of
the Switch/Load Unit cards (and backplane) conform to an
address map structure that begins with the three registers as
show in Table B-1.
Table B-2 shows the values returned from each card’s Card
Type register.
