Features:
- Provides separate ARCNET channels for COREBUS and Stage Link.
- Mounts as a daughterboard on the LBC586P control-engine processor.
- Uses hardware switches and jumpers instead of software configuration.
DS200PANAH1A keeps the two Mark V LAN paths on one processor-mounted interface while preserving separate channel addresses.
APL and BPL route the two ARCNET channels toward their corresponding AAHA connection boards.
P1 and P2 carry processor-bus traffic, while local switches and jumpers establish the board-level network and bus settings.
The General Electric DS200PANAH1A Mark V ARCNET LAN Driver Board may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Dual Network Channels
- COREBUS: One ARCNET channel supports the Mark V COREBUS communication path.
- Stage Link: The second ARCNET channel is assigned to the Stage Link path.
- APL: The APL connector routes the first channel to its AAHA connection board.
- BPL: The BPL connector carries the second channel to the other AAHA board.
LBC586P Daughterboard Path
- Board Position: The PANA board mounts at location 1 on the LBC586P processor board.
- P1 Bus: P1 forms one part of the electrical interface to the control engine.
- P2 Bus: P2 completes the processor-bus connection used for data exchange.
- Assembly Role: The daughterboard arrangement integrates ARCNET communication with the processor assembly.
Channel Address Selection
- Switch Count: Four hardware switches define the two ARCNET channel addresses.
- COREBUS Pair: Two switches are assigned to the COREBUS address.
- Stage-Link Pair: The remaining two switches set the Stage Link address.
- Independent Values: Each channel retains its own address selection.
Jumper-Defined Resources
- Interrupt: A hardware jumper selects the interrupt resource.
- I/O Address: The board I/O address is established by jumper settings.
- Memory Address: A separate jumper selection defines the memory address.
- No Software Setup: PANA configuration is completed in hardware and does not require software programming.
