OMMUNICATION
After all modules have completed their Power-On Self Test, the ReFlex
Power™ is ready for initial communication and configuration check. It is
recommended that the system be checked prior to connecting any loads
or power to the Power modules.

All modules respond to the SCPI identification query, *IDN[n]? where n
is the module address.
To obtain the RFPC's identification information, issue either of the
following:
1. Enter the SCPI command, *IDN?
2. Enter *IDN[n]? where n is the RFPC's module address.
The responses are identical.
Repeat the *IDN[n]? command for each power module in the system
using their correct channel address [n]. The response provides
information in four fields: Company name, Model number, Serial number
and Firmware version.

ONFIGURATION
Install a LAN interface cable between the host controller and the
RFPC module front panel RJ-45 connector.
Configure the RFPC for communications with the host
controller. (Refer to either the Quick Reference Guide or to the
programming manual for set-up instructions)..
The modules will first execute a power-on self-test. Also at
power on, the internal fans are run at maximum speed for
several seconds, and then revert to a speed dictated by the
internal module temperature. Wait until all of the modules have
finished initializing before continuing.
Verify communications with the RFPC by issuing the SCPI
command, *IDN?
The RFPC should respond with its identification string.
Verify that all of the modules have completed their initialization
by issuing the SCPI command, EIB:CONF:DNUM?.
This will return the total number of modules including the RFPC
that have been initialized in the system.
Verify each module type and location by issuing the SCPI
command, *IDN[n]?, where n is a channel number that
corresponds to the module address.
The module should respond with its identification string.
