Auto-Configuration
Introduction All Advantys STB I/O modules are shipped with a set of predefined parameters that
allow an island to be operational as soon as it is initialized. This ability of island
modules to operate with default parameters is known as auto-configuration. Once
an island bus has been installed, you can begin using it as a node on that network.
About Auto-
Configuration
Auto-configuration occurs when:
You power up an island for the first time.
You push the RST button.
As part of the auto-configuration process, the NIM checks each module and
confirms that it has been properly connected to the island bus. The NIM stores the
default operating parameters for each module in Flash memory.
