slot in which the card is installed. Thus, combining the
slot number with card channel number provides the
CHANNEL assignment for the mainframe. The slot
and card channel are separated by an exclamation
point (!). For the following examples, “CHANNEL” re-
fers to the programming channel assignment for the
mainframe, while “Channel” refers to the channel
number of the switching card.
CHANNEL 1!1 = Slot 1, Channel 1
CHANNEL 1!20 = Slot 1, Channel 20
CHANNEL 2!2 = Slot 2, Channel 2
CHANNEL 2!36 = Slot 2, Channel 36
All mainframe channel assignments for non-matrix
type switching cards are shown in Figure 4-6.

panel to close channels and perform a scan.
4.5.1 Channel assignments
Channel assignments used to program the mainframe
are based on the switching card type and the slot in
which it is installed.
Non-matrix type cards:
A non-matrix type card, such
as the Model 7011 multiplexer card, simply consists of
40 channels (1-40) as shown in Figure 4-3A. When pro-
gramming the Model 7001, you need to designate the
