Chapter 3. Modules
The chapter describes the modules and daughter cards that are available for the 8265
switches. A section is provided at the end of this chapter detailing how to obtain code
updates.
Controller Module
The 8265 Controller Module (Feature Code 8000) monitors switch conditions such as
power and temperature and reports failures to the Control Point and Switch module.
The controller module bay can accommodate two controller modules. One controller
module is required for normal switch operation, and only one controller module can be
active at any given time. A second controller module can be installed to achieve
controller module fault tolerance (that is, if one controller module fails, the other
controller module automatically takes over). Controller-based fault tolerance is highly
recommended.
Figure 5 shows the faceplate of the Controller Module.
