are listed from most system-specific to most generic. In the case of any
discrepancy, the documents first in the list shall take precedence.

Since all EXB modules have custom addresses, they must be installed as per the
customer specific documents.
If a system is pre-configured at the factory, the EXB modules will be labeled
appropriately.
If a system is not pre-configured, the EXB modules must each be programmed
appropriately with the custom scripts provided in the Customer Configuration
Disk(s). See the instructions with the Customer Specific System Drawings.
When Serial EXB modules are used, be sure to set the Baud Rate switches on the
back of the units to the WAL Line data rate being used. 19.2K or higher is
recommended. Be sure to use Asynchronous Serial channels for the WAN line.
When Analog (Telco) EXB units are used, be sure to set the wireline 2W/4W ,TX
Level (-10 / -16 dBm), and Answer/Originate option switches as appropriate (see
Customer Specific information and the EXB manual.)
3.2 Serial EXB Dual Port Use
Serial EXBs have two serial ports. The following rules govern the use of those
ports:
1. Remote EXBs (CIB EXBs) can use 1 or 2 ports. They can feed
multiple MCNRCD display positions. If two EXB Network
Management Software PCs are running, both can see this remote EXB.
2. Central EXBs can use only 1 port.
