VXI Resource manager problem

[Eli]

I have the following configuration:
VXI-PCI system (National Instrument 777119-32 VXI-PCI 8015 interface kit +
National Instrument 777178-01 mainframe extender.)
One PC.
Two VXI cages.
In the first VXI cage at slot 0, I installed NI zero slot controller,
configured to logical address 1.
In the second VXI cage at slot 0, I installed NI zero slot controller,
configured to logical address 2.
The VXI cages are chained using MXI-2/M3 cable.
In the first VXI cage at slot 1, I installed a RACAL Instrument (1260-35
with option OPT-01T) that also needs a logical address, configured to
logical address 3.
In the second VXI cage at slot 1, I installed a RACAL Instrument device
(1260-45 with option OPT-01T) that also needs a logical addre
ss, configured
to logical address 4.
Running the Resource manager with only one RACAL device in either cage -
result OK (logical addresses 1,2,3 or 1,2,4).
Running a full system result - FAIL with the message "The device at logical
address 3 did not respond to the read protocols command.
The same problem appears if I configure the logical address of the OPT-01T
to 255 (auto assign logical address).

Please advice.

Thanks

Eli-

I just noticed this unanswered question. I am guessing you've gotten your answer from another source by now, but in case anyone else has similar issues, I recommend our Logical Address Wizard, which helps configure multi-chassis MXI systems. Your case illustrates a common mistake when assigning LA's; having your two VXI-MXI-2's at LA 1 and 2 will not work. According to the LA Wizard, a combination like LA 4 (containing an instrument at LA 5) and LA 6 (containing an instrument at LA 7) would work.
