Installation and Technical Manual.
ETHERNET PORT
The AM-138-10 board contains a 10BaseT Ethernet connector. To use this Ethernet port, you'll need
Alpha Micro's networking software, AlphaTCP, which is included with AMOS 2.3A and later. There are
two software drivers for the AM-138-10's Ethernet port: AM138.LDV, which is only TCP compatible
(and supports ITC tunneling) and AM138.NDV, which is AlphaNET compatible. In most configurations,
AM138.LDV provides better performance.
For instructions on configuring AMOS to use the AM-138-10 Ethernet port, please see Chapter 5.
Additional information on configuring your networking software and hardware is in the AlphaTCP
Administrator’s Guide, DSO-00187-00.
REMOTE RESET CAPABILITY
The AM-138-10 board has an option to enable remote hardware reset, either through serial port 0, or by
using the Remote Reset Adapter, PDB-10323-00.
You cannot use remote reset through port 0 if port 0 uses an AM-90 card for its back panel
connection; the AM-90 does not support this feature. If you use an AM-90, which we
recommend, you must use the Remote Reset Adapter if you want remote reset ability.
To enable remote reset through serial port 0, you must do two things:
1.
Install the JP1 jumper. The factory default is not installed.
2.
Connect a push-button switch between pin-1 and pin-7 (signal ground) at the terminal end of the
terminal cable attached to serial port 0.
Once you’ve enabled remote reset, you can reset the computer by activating the push-button switch.
The remote reset adapter allows you to reboot the computer from anywhere in your facility by wiring an
external switch to the location you want. To install the remote reset adapter, follow the instructions in
PDI-10323-00. The JP1 jumper must not be installed. Attach the adapter’s single-wire connector to the
connector labeled RESET at location P8. Attach it to the pin away from the edge of the board.
