Configuring the QSDI paddle board
Configuring the QSDI paddle board to work in a Mer idian 1 system consists
of setting these option switches for each serial port:
•
Baud rate
•
Port address
•
DTE/DCE mode
The QSDI paddle board has fourteen option switches, SW2–13, SW15-16.
Figure 273 "NT8D41BA QSDI paddle board" (page 832) identifies the
location of option switches on the QSDI paddle board. Learn how to set
these switches in the following sections.
Once the board has been installed, the system software must be configured
to recognize it. Instructions for doing this are found in the section titled
"Software service changes" (page 828).
Option switch settings
Baud rate
Switches SW13, SW10, SW11, and SW12 determine the baud rate for ports
1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. See the settings for these switches in Table 327
"NT8D41BA baud rate switch settings" (page 836).
