If you connect an ibaFOB-4o-D extension module to the board you can either mirror the incoming data or use output features of iba software applications ibaPDA or ibaLogic.
In mirror mode, the incoming data stream is copied from each fiber optic connection to an output channel with virtually no delay.
When using 2 ibaFOB-4o-D extension modules on one card, you can also use both functions at the same time.
Which of the two functions the extension module performs depends on the connector used to connect the module to the card.

Establish connection
-
Shut down the computer.
-
Switch off the power supply of the computer.
-
Unplug the mains power line.
-
Open the computer so you can reach the PCI(e) cards.
-
Install the extension module in a suitable place.
-
Plug the connector of the extension module to the black or white connector depending on which function you want to use.
-
Close the computer.
-
Insert the mains plug into the earthed socket.

Note
After the computer is switched back on for the first time after the add-on module has been installed, no message is displayed indicating that new hardware has been detected. The extension modules are controlled and administered by the ibaFOB-D card only.
Within the ibaPDA I/O-Manager it is indicated on which port the extension module is connected (marked green).
