This chapter explains how to install a DLAN Interface module in a VME system and the
software initialization that must occur before the module can operate. There are several easy
steps in preparing the DLAN Interface module for use.
The chapter is divided into three sections. The necessary equipment and software packages
required for the installation process are described below. After that, each section describes one
step of the installation procedure in detail.
Step 1. Installing the DLAN Interface Module Hardware: Refer to Section 1 for a
description of the physical installation of the DLAN Interface module in a VME rack. A
description of the module hardware is also included.
Step 2. DLAN Jumper Configuration: Section 2 describes how to set the DLAN
configuration jumpers located on the DLAN daughter board when a DLAN network (rather than
DLAN+ network) is used.
Step 3. Software Initialization of the DLAN Interface Module Bus Interface: Section 3
describes the steps that must be performed by the VME CPU to initialize the VMEbus interface
hardware in the DLAN Interface module.
Before you can begin the installation procedure, you must have the following equipment and
software:
H
A VMEbus based computer system that includes (at least) a VME rack, power supply, and
CPU module.
H
One or more VME DLAN Interface modules.
H
An application development platform and tools for the VME CPU.
