4.0 INSTALLATION
This section provides FAA20 installation instructions. The following topics
are included:
• Connecting to the FAA20. Provides guidance for board integration.
• Setting up Switch Controls. Provides guidance for configuring the
on-board switches.
• Setting up Flash Configuration Parameters. Provides guidance for
configuring other FAA20 parameters stored in flash memory.
Before installing and operating the FAA20, review the entire contents of this
manual.
While the FAA20 does possess a terminal command port for control,
configuration and status, the unit is intended to be used as an embedded
device. Operational control is implemented with signal conductors and/or
control bits in the nibble data stream.
4.1 Connecting to the FAA20
The main signal connector is the primary FAA20 interface. Section 0
contains the main connector pinout and signal descriptions. Section 5.2
provides additional interface details and timing diagrams.
4.2 Setting up Switch Controls
The switch controls are read by the FAA20 during unit power up. The
switches control interface timing and operational mode.
To setup the switch controls:
1. Select the operation mode (SW7/SW8).configuration after reviewing
the switch descriptions in Table 5.
Typically, the NORM operational mode is selected (SW7=OFF,
SW8=OFF). This mode will also work with systems designed for the
DVSI VC20 unit.
2. Select the timing sources for the PCM (SW1) and NIB (SW2)
interfaces.
Typically, external timing (switch=OFF) is selected for both
interfaces when the FAA20 is integrated with a host system. Note:
If the PCM interface is not used, the PCM switch setting does not
matter. If the DEMO mode is selected (a standalone mode), insure
both switches are in the ON position.
