2.1.2. Power Supply
The power supply is a standard 2U 400 watt or greater power supply. It is auto-sensing and
accepts 100-240 Volts with 47 to 63Hz. The input power of the device is 100-240 VAC, 8A-4A,
47-67 Hz.
2.1.3. CPU Type
The CPU type used in the system depends on the time of purchase and whether any CPU upgrades
have been incorporated. The typical CPU is an Intel® multi-core processor.
2.1.4. Hard Drive
The Target hard drive is a Serial ATA removable drive; the size may vary depending on the
system configuration. The platform will include a removable drive docking bay as part of the
chassis. The bay will accommodate a 3.5” removable drive cartridge.
2.1.5. Optical Drive
The Target has a Serial ATA DVD/CD drive. This drive is used for installing system software.
2.1.6. Keyboard and Monitor
The 101-key keyboard is supported via a standard PS/2 connector on the rear of the chassis.
The video connection is via a 15-pin, female, high-density, sub-miniature, “D” style connector
located on the back of the chassis.
2.1.7. Network Ports
Ethernet operation conforms to IEEE 802.3. UDP level protocol with IP addressing supported
along with some multicast capabilities.
The following sections discuss the individual network features in more detail:
Host Simulation
: Simulation state and sound model control parameters generated by a sim-
ulation application on another network computer can be transmitted to the Target.
Parameters include state data such as engine RPM, radio frequency, communications panel
switch settings, radio position, exercise number, etc. These parameters are brought into the
local audio models using special input control objects found in the modeling environment.
In addition to reception, model information and equipment health status can also be passed
from the Target back to another computer through the same link.
The Target can receive information from other computers on the network by specifying differ-
ent UDP port numbers for data originating from the different machines.
Status and monitor screens are provided in the Remote Management System enabling the user
to monitor network activity and examine data received or transmitted by the Target. Network
configuration parameters such as port numbers, and source and destination IP addresses are
set by the user in
the
RMS.
DIS
: When configured for DIS operation, the Target connects directly to the DIS network.
Signal and Transmitter PDUs are transmitted and received directly, preventing the host or
other network devices from dealing with these processor-intensive PDUs.
