Hi,
I have a star topology MXI setup, as follows:
- a "master" chassis and controller + NI 8374 modules
- several "slave" chassis, each with its own NI 8370, connected to one 8374 from the "master"
As far as I know I can't "predict" the order in which the MXI chain's elements will be detected.
However, I'd like to configure the whole MXI network in the following manner:
Master Slave (MAX view)
8374 Slot 3 -> Chassis 1
8374 Slot 4 -> Chassis 2
8374 Slot 5 -> Chassis 3
8374 Slot 6 -> Chassis 4
etc.
Basically I'm looking for a solution for the following issue:
After powering on the whole MXI chain how can I do the following "detection" method?
- ask the 8374 module from Slot X what slave chassis (SN) he "sees"?
- ask the 8374 module from Slot Y what slave chassis (SN) he "sees"?
etc.
I thought I could power on the slave chassis sequentially and detect which 8374 it is connect to...
However this would result in a more time-consuming detection.
Waiting for your replies...
Thank you in advance.
