Configuration
Local Onboard Module Configuration
The 8921ADT module can be configured and operated locally using the 
rotary and paddle switches on the front edge of the module (Figure 6). 
Figure 6. Module Jumpers and Switches for Local Configuration
Configuration Switches and Controls
The switches available for local configuration are described below. Refer to 
Figure 6 for the following descriptions:
• MODE and CONTROL (rotary) switches — Three rotary hex switches 
are present on the front edge of the module, AES 1 MODE, 
AES 2 MODE, and CONTROL. 
The AES 1and AES 2 MODE rotary switches select the output mode for 
each AES channel from 1 of 16 possible settings. Local settings for each 
output mode are given in Table 6 on page 27.
The CONTROL switch is used to set input/output gain, delay, save and 
recall user settings, and for input selection in conjunction with the 
CONTROL paddle switch. It addresses two banks of functions; each 
bank has 16 possible positions (0 through 9 and A through F). Not all 
positions are used. The next bank of functions is accessed each time the 
CONTROL switch makes a complete revolution past zero (or back 
through F): While in Bank 1, a complete revolution past zero accesses 
Bank 2; while in Bank 2, a complete revolution past zero accesses Bank 
1 again. The yellow BANK 2 LED indicates which bank is currently 
being accessed. 
CAUTION The CONTROL rotary switch should be kept in position 0 in any bank (parked) 
when not in use to avoid any inadvertent change in configuration. Position 0 
in each bank is inactive.
•BANK 2 (second Function) yellow LED – when off, indicates that the 
rotary switch is addressing the first bank of functions. When on, indi-
cates that the rotary switch is addressing the second bank of functions.
