Understanding The Board Configuration Feature
Defining The Physical And Logical Board Locations
Beginning at software release 10A, theDXPuses two distinctions for station and line locations: the
physical location and the logical location.
Thephysical locationcorresponds to the order of the board slots in the system; these physical slot
locations never change. There are 16 possible physical slot locations in the DXP (nine slots in the main
cabinet and seven slots in the expansion cabinet) that permit the...

No matter what type of board you install in the first universal slot in the main cabinet, that slot is always
physical slot 1. The physical slot numbers begin with the first universal slot in the main cabinet and
number from left to right. The first universal slot in the expansion cabinet is physical slot number 10.
Installers need to know the physical location of the boards in order to properly wire the lines and stations.
NOTE: The left to right order for the four exclusive line board slots (slots 6...

Describing How Automatic Configuration Works
Beginning with software release 10A, there are no dedicated station or line ports in theDXP,the system
uses an automatic configuration method to number the lines and stations. When you master clear the
system, it automatically searches for all installed line and station boards in the main and expansion
cabinet, identifies each board type and location, and automatically numbers the ports on every installed
board (see the next section,Understanding How The...
