&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;5616&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the Samson ACCess Processor module, abbreviated ACCP. Its product number is ND-324716.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Stub}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 5616 is a baby module used in Samson-based ND-5000 systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The module contains:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The access processor&lt;br /&gt;
* The ND OctoBus controller&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A terminal can be connected to the ACCP console through a plug board at the rear of the card crate. The connection uses RS-232.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the ACCP command prompt, commands can be entered for:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Debugging&lt;br /&gt;
* Status inspection&lt;br /&gt;
* Hardware testing&lt;br /&gt;
* System diagnostics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ND-324716 is a newer version of the earlier [[5602|ND-324702 ACCP module]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The module provides two principal functions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Access processor functionality&lt;br /&gt;
* Control of the ND OctoBus&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The console can be used for:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Debugging&lt;br /&gt;
* Reading system status&lt;br /&gt;
