6.4.2. Configuring the Local Map File

This step is for users in the following categories:

• Map File: Local
• Data Streaming: all SCX users

For more information about user categories, see Section 6.2, Determining Installation Requirements.

To configure the local map file, follow this procedure:

1. When the SCX160 SCxbus Adapter configuration program prompts you to indicate whether this node is the first node being installed in the multi-node system, click Yes or No accordingly.
   • If this is the first node being installed, click Yes and then skip to step 3 below.
   • If this is not the first node being installed, click No.

     The SCX160 SCxbus Adapter configuration program prompts you whether to copy the map file from the previous node to the map file path directory that you specified in Section 6.4, Initiating the Node Configuration Process.

2. The next action depends on whether you have copied the map file from the previous node to a disk for transfer:
   • If you have copied the map file from the previous node to a transfer disk, click Yes.

     The program prompts you to insert the disk containing the map file into the disk drive.

   • If you have not copied the map file from the previous node, click No.

     The program exits. You must copy the map file from the previous node onto a disk for transfer and then rerun the configuration program by starting DCM.

3. When you are prompted to enter a name for the current node and a path for the backup map file, refer to the Node Configuration Chart you completed above (see Section 6.2.2, Analyzing Node Configuration Requirements).

   Note that:

   • The path must be for a directory that already exists.
   • The SCX160 SCxbus Adapter configuration program assigns a node number to the current node. Verify that this number is accurately recorded on the Node Configuration Chart.

The next step in the SCX160 SCxbus Adapter configuration processes depends on whether:

• The current node is the first node being configured: in this case, proceed to Section 6.4.3, Selecting Data Streaming (First Node Only).
• The current node is not the first node being configured, and the configuration is non-blocked: in this case, proceed to Section 6.4.4, Configuring Data Streams - Non-Blocked.
• The current node is not the first node being configured, and the configuration is blocked: in this case, proceed to Section 6.4.5, Configuring Data Streams - Blocked.
