Field Value
Displays the version of PSAX system software with
which the modules' firmware was released. The soft-
ware version is encoded in the module firmware.
Because not all modules require firmware upgrades
with every new PSAX system software release, the
software version that is displayed in this window may
be lower than the CPU system software that is cur-
rently running on the PSAX system. See the most
recent Release Note document for the latest software
and firmware lineup information.
Displays the product element code (PEC) used to iden-
tify and order this type of module. The PEC is encoded
in the module bootloader.
Displays the unique serial number of the individual
module. The product serial number is encoded in the
module firmware. The format of this field is the fol-

sequential number, which in conjunction with YY, VV,
and DD, creates a unique number for each hardware
component in the PSAX product line
For existing products with the 10-digit serial number
used in Rel. 6.5.0 or later systems, this number is dis-
played with two preceding zeros.
PSAX Rel. 6.3.0 and earlier: 10-digit number. For
products with 12-digit serial numbers used in Rel 6.3.0
or earlier systems, the first two digits (YY) are not dis-
played.
I/O and server modules display the status value of Primary if they are con-
figured, or Unknown if they are unconfigured. The Alarm Status column for
unconfigured modules still can have a number listing the ports that are avail-
able to be configured. If numbers in the Alarm Status column are under-
lined, this condition indicates a loss of signal.
The Alarm Status field on the Equipment Configuration window is described
in Table 3-5.
