Note 1. When replacing the Board, do not reconnect that node to the Network before
carrying out the procedures listed below. In particular, a node with a small
address will become the polling node and communicate the initial network
parameter status to other nodes, so there is the chance that network param-
eters in the entire Network will be damaged.
2. The data link table, network parameters, and routing table are stored in the
Controller Link Support Board's EEPROM. When the Board has been
replaced, make these settings again before starting operation.
Saving the data set in the Board's EEPROM to file before replacing the Board so
that the data can be used after replacement.
1. From the Maintenance Menu on the Controller Link Support Software,
select "Unit Back-up" and then "Board
as a file in the Board's EEPROM.
Note a) Data link tables, network parameters and routing tables are saved
in this way.
b) Depending on the extent of the damage to the Board, the Control-
ler Link Support Software may not be able to be used. If an error
message appears when the Support Software is used, use
replacement method 2.
2. Turn off all nodes in the Controller Link Network.
3. Detach the communications cables attached to the Controller Link Support
Board to be replaced and remove the Board.
4. Set the new Controller Link Support Board's memory allocation switch,
allocation setting circuit pin, and the terminating resistance switch to the
same as for the previous Board.
5. Mount the Controller Link Support Board in the expansion slot of the com-
puter and connect the communications cables.
6. Turn ON the power only to the computer for which the Support Board was
replaced and start-up the Support Software. Only the RUN indicator on the
Board's display panel should light.
7. From the Maintenance Menu on the Controller Link Support Software,
select "Board
Board's EEPROM.
8. Exit the Controller Link Support Software and turn OFF the power to the
computer.
9. Turn ON the power to all nodes on the network and start-up the Controller
Link Support Software at the node at which the Board was replaced.
10. Using the Controller Link Support Software, read the network parameters
and make sure the Network is operating normally.
11. If the data links are not activated automatically, activate the data links from
the data link startup node.
12. Check that the data links are operating normally by using the "Data Link Sta-
tus Monitor" on the Controller Link Support Software.
This method sets the network parameters saved in EEPROM automatically from
other nodes on the network. Data link tables must be reset using the Controller
Link Support Software.
1. Rewrite the computer's CONFIG.SYS so the Controller Link BIOS is acti-
vated as a polled node (add the /K option to the Controller Link BIOS driver
column.)
2. Turn the power OFF to the computer at which the replacement was made.
