Software service changes
Once the NT8D41 SDI paddle board has been installed in the system, the
system software needs to be configured to recognize it. This is done using the
Configuration Record program LD 17. Instructions for running the
Configuration Record program are found in Software Input/Output:
Administration (553-3001-311).
Some of the prompts that are commonly used when running the Configuration
Record program LD 17, are shown in “LD 17 – Serial port configuration
parameters.” on page 665. These parameters must be set for each port if both
ports are being used.
