Any number of ACM modules with 2 bus
cables (one cable between the NT960/PCI
Host adapter and the first ACM, and then
another cable somewhere between the first
ACM and last ACM).
The steps to connect ACM/16, ACM/16RJ and ACM/Flex16
external modules to a NT960/PCI Host Adapter are:
1. Turn off or disconnect the power to the computer containing
the NT960/PCI Host Adapter.
2. Connect the ACM/16, ACM/16RJ or ACM/Flex16 to the
NT960/PCI Host Adapter with the DB37 bus cable supplied.
3. If you are connecting more than one ACM/16, ACM/16RJ or
and/or ACM/Flex16 to the Host Adapter, verify that each
module has a unique address switch setting.
4. The NT960/PCI Host Adapter can connect up to a maximum
of eight ACM/16, ACM/16RJ and/or ACM/Flex16 modules
giving you a total of 128 ports. You can connect the modules
directly to each other. When connecting the modules to each
other please attach metal straps between each module.
5. After you connect the ACM/16, ACM/16RJ and/or
ACM/Flex16 modules to the Host Adapter and to each other,
connect the ACM/16, ACM/16RJ or ACM/Flex16 power
supply to the module and then plug it into your power source.
