Configuring the Island Bus
At a Glance
Introduction The information in this chapter describes the auto-addressing and auto-
configuration processes. An Advantys STB system has an auto-configuration
capability in which the current, actual assembly of I/O modules on the island bus is
read every time that the island bus is either powered up or reset. This configuration
data is saved to Flash memory automatically.
The removable memory card is discussed in this chapter. The card is an
Advantys STB option for storing configuration data offline. Factory default settings
can be restored to the island bus I/O modules and the CFG port by engaging the
RST button.
The NIM is the physical and logical location of all island bus configuration data and
functionality.
