Configuring the SLTA- 10 Adapter Hardware
There are eight configuration switches on the SLTA-10 Adapter’s switch block (Sl).
These inputs are read by the SLTA-10 firmware to configure or enable features.
Figure 4.1 shows the factory default settings for the SLTA-10 Adapter.
Changes to
the switch configurations will not occur until the power is cycled on the SLTA-10
Adapter. The switches are read immediately after a power reset.
The NSI switch selects between the legacy SLTA-10 MIP mode and a serial Network
Services Interface (NSI mode).

Figure 4.2 SLTA-10 Adapter Link Protocol Switch1 / CFG3
Switch1 / CFG3 controls the network interface link protocol used between the
SLTA-10 Adapter and a local host, when in MIP mode. For NSI mode, leave this
switch in the default position. Two link protocols are available for the SLTA-10 MIP
mode: the SLTA-10 Adapter ALERT/ACK link protocol and the buffered link protocol.
The ALERT/ACK link protocol is designed for host computers that cannot accept
asynchronously occurring streams of serial data at high speed. For example, a PC
