Important notes
Note that DECT Messenger has the following limitations:
•
A single eIO instance can handle communications through either a
FP-1000 module (RS-232) or a FP-1600 module (Ethernet). So for
each FP-1000 or FP-1600, you need an instance of an eIO module.
• DECT Messenger supports the connection of only one eIO module.
While some environments are known to be stable with more than
one eIO module attached to a DECT Messenger, this is not officially
supported by the authors of the eIO module. Contact Nortel product
support before attaching more than one eIO.
• The eIO instance that handles an FP-1000 or FP-1600 can connect
to other modules, such as FP-1001 and FP-1601, to build a
tree-structure. The string can attach FP-AI-100, DP-DI-300, FP-DI-301,
FP-DI-330, and FP-DO-401 modules.
Note: DECT Messenger eIO is designed to support a maximum of
eight modules attached to an eIO instance. Connecting more that
eight modules is possible; however, because eIO can only handle
eight modules, the remaining modules are non operational from the
perspective of DECT Messenger.
At this stage, you must decide whether to use FP-1000 or FP-1600 to
connect the eIO instance. The following sections provide examples of
environments using FP-1000 and FP-1600, as follows:
•
“Example 1: sample environment using FP-1000 module” (page 121)
•
“Example 2: sample environment using FP-1600 module” (page 131)

Note:
Consult the National Instruments web site at http://www.ni.com to
obtain more information on installing and configuring the distributed
I/O modules.
The following four tables provide configuration examples for a sample
environment using FP-1000 module, as follows:
• Table 2 "Example 1a - FP-1000 module - Connect hardware modules"
(page 122)
• Table 3 "Example 1b - FP-1000 module - Adjust module configuration"
