TIP: Even if a controller contains two TMR processors, the
System Configuration Tool
 only displays one.
The
System Configuration Tool
 displays the system layout of the
Trusted
 controller chassis. The layout displayed in the
System Configuration Tool
 must match the physical controller.
To configure the
Trusted
 controller, perform the following from the
System Configuration Tool
:
  • Create and configure system templates
  • Configure the
    Trusted
     TMR Processor
  • Assign modules to the
    Trusted
     System
  • Configure I/O modules
  • Configure the Communications Interface module
  • Set the Communications port
  • Generate the SYSTEM.INI
  • Download the SYSTEM.INI
  • Upload the SYSTEM.INI
    TIP: To configure the controller, the maintenance enable key switch must be in the
    Maintain
    position. You must connect your workstation to the
    Trusted
     TMR Processor front panel diagnostic port using the TC-304-01 Serial Maintenance Cable or via Ethernet using an 8153 Communications Interface Adapter located on the back of the T8151B Communication Interface.
