A fixed address or vector means that there is an address location
reserved in memory for the address or vector of that particular
module. Modules with fixed addresses and vectors are usually
shipped with the correct configuration for use as the first module
of that type. If two modules of the same type are ysed, the

The DEONA is a dual-height module used to connect a Q-bus system a
to a local area network (LAN) based on Ethernet. The Ethernet is

communications system which allows data exchange between computers
within a moderate distance (2.8 km/ 1.74 mi). The DEQNA can

transmit data at a rate of 1.2 Mbytes per second, through coaxial
cable. For high Ethernet traffic, an additional DEQNA may be
installed.

The module is configured using three jumpers, Wl through W3
