    NOTE FOR SYSTEMS WITH 1260-OPT 01T The “Module-Specific Syntax” section of this manual shows the command syntax for the 1260-01S Smart Card. If you are using the newer 1260-01T Smart Card, the commands will NOT work as shown. Consult the 1260-01T Manual for a description of the commands which may be used with the 1260- 01T Smart Card.
  • Page 7 Control Information for the 1260-60 The following information describes the control-register-to-relay-channel mapping for a 1260-60 Relay Module. This information may be used to control a 1260-60 when using a 1260-01T in the register-based mode of operation. There are two types of relays which populate the 1260-60 module. The standard relays (channels 0 through 111), are each controlled by a single bit within an 8-bit Control Register.
