same time you plan to use it in a CLN. If you are “locked out” of an SMX-6 and are unable to connect it to a Crown
Bus, you must contact the Crown Support Group for further assistance. All SMX-6s must be connected
to the system via a Crown Bus loop when the CLN is initialized.
The External Function controls are described below in the order in which they should be set. It is very important
to turn the System control on last as described in the previous CLN startup procedure.
One of the first things to do is to decide which SMX-6 will serve as the CLN master. Being the CLN master will not
affect its normal operation. After the master is selected, the Duck, Gate Count and Ext Algos controls should be set
for each SMX-6. To do this, first select the SMX-6 from the list in the External Functions window then highlight each
control and toggle it on or off as desired. Each time a different SMX-6 is selected in the External Functions window,
the controls will change to show the its current settings.
Master: One SMX-6 in a CLN must be the master. With the System control off, choose one of the SMX-6s listed
in the External Functions window and turn its Master control on.
IMPORTANT: Only one SMX-6 should be the master. Make sure that the Master control of all
other units is turned off. Neither the CLN or the SMX-6s will function properly if more than one unit is selected as
a master.
Duck: Turn the Duck control on for all SMX-6s in a CLN which you want to respond to external Duck Priority
function.
Gate Count: Turn the Gate Count control on for all SMX-6s in a CLN which you want to respond to external
Gate Count function.
Ext Algos: The Ext Algos control enables the unit to work with external functions. Turn it on for all SMX-6s
which you want to participate in the CLN. Turning Ext Algos off will prevent the Duck Priority and Gate Count
functions from responding to external information on the CLN.
System: The System control activates the CLN. It should only be turned on for the first time after the preceding
controls have been set. The CLN startup procedure gives specific instruction how to do this. Select the master
SMX-6 before turning it on.
The System control can be turned on and off at any time
after the CLN has been properly initialized.
