Configuring the Island
Summary There are three ways to configure your Advantys STB I/O:
Using the I/O default parameters (auto-configuration)
Using the Advantys configuration software to custom configure the I/O
Using the I/O configurations stored in a removable memory card inserted into
your NIM
To configure your NIM and correctly power up your system read the applications
guide that came with your NIM.
Auto-
configuration
All Advantys STB I/O modules are default-configured with a set of predefined
parameters. This allows your island to be operational as soon as it is powered up
and initialized. This quick launch I/O configuration is called auto-configuration. Upon
island startup the predefined parameters stored in your I/O modules are
automatically read and written by the NIM and stored in Flash memory. As part of
the auto-configuration process, the NIM checks each module and confirms that it
has been properly connected to the island bus.
Auto-configuration occurs when:
You power up an island for the first time
You push the RST button.
Here is a view of the reset button on the NIM:
Note: Using the Advantys configuration software you can disable the reset button.
In this situation pressing the reset button will not effect the existing configuration.
