Title: IGT SAS Channel 3
Post by: jdkmunch on August 02, 2012, 09:29:58 PM
I've been gearing up to implement TZ's board so I wanted to get back into the SAS scene with my pc hooked up to my I-Game



Here's  the thing - I wasted two nights with wiring and testing with 4 PC's in order to get it to work .   

Well after trying a

macbook air
acer laptop
macbook pro
hp desktop  (native serial)


I finally got hte machines to talk after setting SAS to channel 3 - IT WORKED!!!!!

soooooooooo for all who are thinking about tinkering  --   change the SAS channel - not machine ID but the channel other than 1 or 2 for pc hookup


I don't know why  :52-   maybe someone here who works with these things can explain why?  :3-

Channel 3 is the Serial port on the Comm board
Channel 2 is the DCS port on motherboard and the EZ Pay fiber ports on the Comm board
Channel 1 is the WAP fiber port
