IB-23C004 INTRODUCTION SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 DESCRIPTION The 1733N Mini Link/EXT (External) with 1732N ICN Interface Board, Figure 1-1, provides a general purpose serial interface to MOD 30 and MODCELL instruments via the Instrument Communications Network (ICN). The 1733N Mini Link/EXT supports one ICN and the 1732N ICN Interface Board supports a second ICN.
IB-23C004 INTRODUCTION Physically the Mini Link/EXT is a standalone interface box with two serial port connections for host PC communications and up to two network connections for ICN communications to MOD 30 and MODCELL instruments. The base configuration consists of: • Two Serial Ports The two RS-232C serial ports (one DB9 and one DB25) have individually configurable baud rates in the range of 300 to 19200 bps. The standard protocol is: Parity - None, Data Length - 8 bits, Stop Bits - 1.
IB-23C004 INTRODUCTION 1.2 EXPLANATION OF SERIAL AND CATALOG NUMBER The products described in this book have numbers that help identify specific features. The general format of these numbers is described below. Specific product descriptions follow in Section 1.3. The serial number stamped on the product data plate consists of the catalog number and, in some cases, a sequential identification number. The serial number, which is described below, contains a series of single and multiple-character codes.

IB-23C004 INSTALLATION SECTION 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 GENERAL Prior to installation or configuration, make sure that all power to the Mini Link/EXT is disconnected. The Mini Link/EXT comes factory-configured as follows: 2.
IB-23C004 INSTALLATION 2.3 JUMPER SETTINGS This section contains a brief description of the External Mini Link jumpers with an application table for each. A quick reference table of all switches, jumpers, and their functions is in Appendix A. 2.3.1 Serial Ports The External Mini Link has two serial ports. Each serial port can be configured with an independent baud rate and CTS signal for access by two controlling consoles.
IB-23C004 INSTALLATION Clear-To-Send (CTS) for Serial Ports A and B Both serial ports are outfitted with a CTS connection. In most cases, the CTS signal will not be needed. In the event that your configuration requires a CTS signal, install jumpers W16 and/or W17 as follows: W16 Enables Clear To Send on Serial Port A (DB9) W17 Enables Clear To Send on Serial Port B (DB25) RS-232 Test Signal Jumper Jumper W18 provides access to the 5V power plane of the External Mini Link.
IB-23C004 INSTALLATION NOTE: The detachable power cord supplied with the 1733N is 6 ft 7 in long (2 m). Figure 2-1.
IB-23C004 TROUBLESHOOTING THE MINI LINK SECTION 3 TROUBLESHOOTING THE MINI LINK 3.1 NO RESPONSE FROM LINK A "No Response From Link" error indicates one or more of the following: 3.2 • The serial cable between the host computer and the Mini Link/EXT is incorrectly installed. Verify connection between the host and the Mini Link/EXT as shown in the tables in Appendix B. • The Clear-To-Send function on the Mini Link/EXT has been enabled without enabling the same function on the host computer.
IB-23C004 TROUBLESHOOTING THE MINI LINK 5. The ICN is appropriately terminated as described in IB-23A160. 6. If using a base configuration of the Mini Link/EXT (supporting 1 ICN) the two-wire interface is connected to the Mini Link/EXT terminal block labeled ICN0. 7.
