Board configuration

Format

• -scan [-mgw]
• -remove -bpos
• -insert -bpos -boardid -numind

Function

A new board can be identified by the system in two ways:

• Scan all board positions in stated LIM to detect newly inserted boards. Scanning is initiated with the parameter -scan
• Define the new board manually using parameter -insert.

When a board is taken out of service, it can be removed with the parameter -remove.

Parameters

• -bpos

  Board position. The parameter has the format LLLG-Y-Z where LLL=LIM number [range: 1-124], G=gateway [range: A to O. If the gateway letter is omitted the default value is used. Default value: A], Y=magazine and Z=position.

  Example: 1A-0-10 (single value) 1C-0-10...1C-0-30 (series) 1A-0-10,1B-0-30 (multiple values) 1K-0-10...1K-0-30,1M-0-50...1D-0-60 (combination)

• -boardid

  The board identity of the created board.

  Values: integer, with the range 1 - 127.

  The switch requires an argument. The argument is single-valued.

  See the parameter BRDID in TECHNICAL REFERENCE GUIDE. MML PARAMETER DESCRIPTION for details.

• -insert

  Create a new board in the system tables.

• -mgw

  Gateway has the format LLLG where LLL=lim number [range: 1-124], G=gateway letter [range: A-O].

  Example: 1B (single value) 1B...1E (series) 1A,1C (multiple values) 1B...1D,1F (combination)

• -numind

  The number of individuals of the created board.

• -remove

  Remove a board from the system.

• -scan

  Start a scan for new boards.

Examples

• Scan LIM 3 for new boards.

  board_config -scan -lim 3

• Remove a board from LIM 1, gateway B, magazine 2, and board position 20.

  board_config -remove -bpos 1B-2-20

• Manually create a board with board id 87 and with 16 individuals.

  board_config -insert -bpos 2A-2-20 -boardid 87 -numind 16
