Front Panel Features
This section describes the features and functions of all front‑panel
components of the 6416i Input Module.
Enter/Cancel Buttons
The pair of buttons marked E
ntEr
and C
anCEl
will be used to confirm
functions and mode changes or to exit a change request. The LED between
the two buttons will flash whenever the user is required to press one of these
buttons in order to continue with an operation or edit.
A-Net LED
The blue LED found within the A‑Net logo functions as the network activity
indicator. When a module is powered up, its A‑Net LED will flash while a
request to enter the network is sent to and then processed by the device
designated as Control Master. Once a module is enumerated and is part of
the network, the blue A‑Net LED will light solid. The LED will remain lit as
long as valid A‑Net network data is received.
The A-Net LED lights blue when the 6416i is active on the network.
The A‑Net LED will flash during an operating system upgrade when the
module being updated is part of an active network. When a module is being
bench configured (it is not part of an active network), the A‑Net LED will
be off during the firmware update. (Check the Aviom website for current
firmware updates.)
Control Master
One Pro64 module in every network must be designated as the Control
Master. To set the 6416i as the Control Master, one of the DIP switches on the
rear panel in the VDC section is used. In the group of RS‑232 DIP switches,
switch #10 is used to designate a module as the Control Master. Set this
switch to the up position with the power off to avoid conflicts with network
resources.
