System Controller – SysCon
Each VikinX
®
Modular frame comes with either one or two system controller
cards, SysCon. One SysCon is necessary to control the router; dual redundant
SysCon is an option.
SysCon can be enabled for 3
rd
party control interfaces as an option. Please
contact your Network representative for details.
Your SysCon card(s) may be inserted in any of the two slots (
A
) and (
B
).
All the configuration parameters, control parameters, etc. are stored in the
Compact Flash (CF) memory of the SysCon card. This provides a high grade of
security for the user, as he just needs to remove the CF card if the SysCon card
fails, and install this CF card on a new SysCon card. The router will not notice
the difference.
3.4.1
Card insertion
The frame is equipped with plastic guide rails to align the SysCon cards into
their respective positions. Slide the card into the plastic guide rails inside the
frame until the red handle is close to the frame front. A detailed description of
the last part of the insertion process is shown in the figure below.
On the top of the card tray, there is a hole above each module slot. When the
tip of the handle is just below this hole, start to push the handle downwards
as in the figure. The tip of the handle enters the hole and the card is locked
and proper contact ensured when the handle is in downright position.
Do not use excessive force; the card should enter easily –
proper insertion is almost effortless
.
