3.0 HOST / ANALOG-DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR MODULE H11/H12 AND A10
The Host/Analog-Digital Signal Processor Module is an assembly consisting of two
sections: the Host board and the Analog-Digital Signal Processor board.
3.1 Host board
The Host CPU module consists of a 486-class microprocessor, four communications ports
and a CompactPCI
TM
master bridge. The H11 host module offers non-volatile memory
expansion via an optional Compact Flash card. The H12 host module utilizes a Compact
Flash card, available in optional sizes, and offers optional Ethernet interfaces (E1 and E3).
3.1.1 Serial Port/Front Panel Board
The Serial Port/Front Panel Board consists of the four serial driver connectors, four status
LED’s, four bi-color serial port LED’s, and a reset button. Port P1 is a PC-AT style 9-pin D
connector for the dedicated RS-232 port, and ports P2, P3, and P4 are universal 150-mil,
6-pin removable connectors for the RS-232/RS-485 serial ports. P2, P3, and P4 are
software (user) configurable for RS-232 or RS-485 mode. The RS-232 drivers support full
and half duplex modes. See Figures 3-6 (pg. 22 -26) for signal assignments.
3.1.1a Service Port (P1)
When connecting to the Service port DB9M (P1) from a PC, a null modem cable is
required. The Service Port can be used with a PC running a terminal emulation program.
Upon startup, the M87x default configuration sets P1 for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity,
1 stop bit and no flow control handshaking. These parameters are user-configurable. A
small number of messages are sent to P1 and the M87x then outputs system messages.
Enter the command mode by pressing the ENTER key until the system outputs a
prompting message. Allowable commands are:
