CHARM addresses are defined by the hardware addressing of the CHARM Baseplates. Each baseplate has an Address Plug that defines the bank address for its 12 channels. The baseplates should be addressed sequentially under the CIOC. That is, the baseplate with Address Plug 1 should be installed after the CIOC Carrier; the baseplate with Address Plug 2 should be installed after the baseplate with Address Plug 1, and so on. The Address Plug and a CHARM's position on the baseplate determine the CHARM's address. The address is specified as CHM1-02 or CHM2-12 where the number after CHM indicates the Address Plug and the number after the dash (-) indicates the CHARM's position on the baseplate. For example, the address CHM2-02 refers to the second CHARM on the baseplate with Address Plug 2.
The following image shows all 12 CHARMs in bank 1 on the CHARM Baseplate with Address Plug 1 and two CHARMs in bank 2 on the second CHARM Baseplate with Address Plug 2. Both baseplates are under CIOC-1.
