Chapter 2 - SSP Installation

Introduction

The XVME-956/400 SSP is a compact, low power module with two serial
ports and a parallel port. The SSP is ideal for embedded applications, where
low power consumption, small space, high reliability, and IBM PC or PC/AT
software and serial/parallel port compatibility are required.
This chapter describes how to configure and install the SSP Adapter Module.
Any or all of the following steps could be involved in a complete configura-
tion and installation:
•
Plug in the driver/receiver ICs for the specific option you have chosen
for the second serial port.
•
Verify and/or adjust the jumper settings.
•
Attach cables to the parallel and serial port connectors.
•
Install the SSP board to its parent device.
Some operations may not apply to the specific options you have chosen. In
such cases, just skip the sections that don't apply, and simply verify that your
boards have the proper ICs and jumper settings.
Figure 2-1 shows the locations of the jumper groups and port connectors on
the SSP board. Table 2-1 lists the port connectors. Table 2-2 gives an over-
view of the jumper functions. The jumper groups are numbered W1 - W6
and W11 - W20.
