The ATLAS 890 rear panel contains 16 slots for housing option modules which provide a variety of additional resources an d da ta por ts. All slot s are f uncti onall y ident ical . The ATLAS 890 also contains two slots
for housing controller modules and a single slot dedicated for power supply use only (see Figure 2). The
most common configuration is a fully redundant system with two system controllers and two power supplies. A fully redundant AC-powere d ATLAS 890 provides 13 option slots. A fully redundan t DC-powered
ATLAS 890 provides 15 option slots.
The Admin port (EIA-232) connects to a computer or modem. The control port input provides the following functions:
•Accepts EIA-232 input from a PC or a modem for controlling the ATLAS 890.
•Operates at 2400, 9600, 19200, or 38400 bps.
•Acts as input for either VT 100 or PC control.
•Acts as an interface for flash memory software downloads using XMODEM.
The Admin connection follows, and Table 4 shows the pinout.

Only one configuration transfer session (upload or download) can be active at a time. The TCP/IP
parameters are not saved or overwritten as part of an ATLAS 890 unit’s transferred configuration;
therefore, identical configurations can be sent to multiple units. For complete details on configuration
