Procedure 3:
Set Up the System for Multiple Mainframes
If you only have one mainframe, continue with the next procedure,
Procedure 4: Configure and Install Instruments. Otherwise, if you are
using MXIbus to connect to multiple mainframes, continue with this
procedure.
This procedure describes the recommended MXIbus configurations for
2-frame and 3-frame MXIbus systems. The Agilent E1482B VXIbus
Extender Module (VXI-MXI module) is shipped from the factory
configured for installation into slot 0. In some cases, however, you must
reconfigure the VXI-MXI module for non-slot 0 operation. This is
described in the following procedure. This procedure consists of the
following steps:
• MXIbus-1 : Set Up VXI-MXI Modules for Slot 0
• MXIbus-2 : Set Up VXI-MXI Modules for Non-Slot 0
• MXIbus-3 : Remove Terminating Networks from Middle VXI-MXI
Modules
• MXIbus-4 : Set the VXI-MXI Module’s Logical Address
• MXIbus-5 : Disable the VMEbus Timeout on Other Devices
• MXIbus-6 : Install VXI-MXI Modules into the Mainframe
• MXIbus-7 : Connect Interface Cables
• MXIbus-8 : Apply Power
• MXIbus-9 : What To Do Next
