1. Complete Form F for local work stations.
a. Read the following considerations for local work stations
before assigning the addresses:
• The system console personal computer is attached with
an expansion cable to port 0 (the rectangular one) on the
5364. The console must have an address of 0 on port 0.
• If you attach a PC printer to the system console (a PC
printer cannot attach directly to the 5364 unit), the
printer must have an address of 1 on port 0.
If you do not attach a PC printer, address 1 on port 0 can
also be assigned to the console; this gives you a second
logical display station. No additional hardware or
cabling is required.
Neither the PC printer nor the second display station is
required.
• On port 1 and port 2, addresses from 0 to 6 are valid for
work stations connected in a line using Cable Thru
capability, but each work station on a line must have a
different address.
If a device does not have Cable Thru capability, it must
be either the only or the last device on the line. An
address of 0 should be assigned to this device.
