It can be plugged into any eepis- ter of CPU slot of a SY/MAX rack assembly. Nine indiea- {or lights provide indication of channel activity and power ‘Two RS-232 ports, two RS-422 ports, and two contact ports complete the front panel layout. The following paragraphs ‘explain the indicators and port functions. 9.2 Indicator Lights “The front panel contains one green and eight yellow Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to indicate power and channel ac- tivity.
