Troubleshooting Using Indicators
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 to only the computer for which the Support Board was
replaced and startup the Support Software. Only the RUN indicator on the
Board's display panel should light.
7. Using the "data link" function of the Controller Link Support Software set the
data link tables for the new Controller Link Support Board.
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. The
RUN and INS indicators on the new Board should be lit (in some cases SD,
RD and LNK indicators will also be lit.)
10. Using the Controller Link Support Software, read the network parameters
and make sure the Network is operating normally.
11. Exit the Controller Link Support Software and return the CONFIG.SYS file
altered in step one to normal (delete the /K option from the Controller Link
BIOS driver column and set for activation as a polling node.)
12. Turn the power to the computer ON again and start up the Controller Link
Support Software at the node at which the Board was replaced. The RUN
and INS indicators on the new Board should be lit (in some cases SD, RD
and LNK indicators will also be lit.)
13. If the data links are not activated automatically, activate the data links from
the data link startup node.
14. Check that the data links are operating normally by using the "Data Link Sta-
tus Monitor" on the Controller Link Support Software.
