18-1-1 Fitting the slot cards
Always switch the AR8600 off when inserting a slot card.
The slot cards are fitted into the rear panel of the AR8600, look for the labels embossed into the rear
panel underneath the appropriate slot socket; care should be taken not to insert the wrong card into
each socket as each socket is identical. Hold the slot card so that its label also faces upward. An arrow
printed on the slot card indicates the direction of entry into the AR8600, insert the connector end of the
slot card into the AR8600 (the end you will be left holding has groves to help grip). Without using
excessive force, use a thumb to push the slot card into the body of the AR8600 until only the grooved
section is left protruding.
Note: Care should be taken not to insert the wrong card into each socket as every socket
is identical apart from the label. The AR8600 will automatically recognise each optional slot
card. Refer to section 18-2 of this manual.
When slot cards are fitted, the AR8600 menu system dynamically changes to reflect the slot card
currently fitted. If however the AR8600 'thinks' that a slot card option is fitted when it isn't, access the
slot card menu and disable the option. You may wish to leave certain items selected if they are not
affecting current operation in order to minimise reprogramming when slot cards are removed and
refitted at a later time.
18-1-2 Removing the slot card
Always switch the AR8600 off when removing a slot card. Use the thumb and forefinger to
firmly grip the desired card and pull in a straight line remove, do not wriggle the card as this places
unnecessary stress on the slot card connector. The stiffness of the cards varies and may be tighter
when used for the first few times, don't use excessive force or tools!
18-2 Slot card OPTION menu - registering a slot card
Once the slot cards have been fitted, they must be registered for use via the slot card menu.
This is because only one slot card from GROUP 1 and one slot card from GROUP 2 can be used
simultaneously, registering the slot cards is a way of managing their use.
The optional slot cards must be REGISTERED via the SLOT CARD OPTION MENU before they can be
manipulated via their own control menus. To access the slot card registration menu option menu
the slot cards in GROUP 1 (TE8200, CT8200, VI8200) and the second page covers the slot cards in
GROUP 2 (EM8200, RU8200).
The
arrow keys are used to move between lines representing the slot card fitted, if you do
not have the listed card fitted, you will not be able to move to the displayed line, it will be skipped.
The menu is presented in two sections (pages), the first covers
