The Chassis
A chassis container has added capability to communicate with the Model 6103 alarm card in a ForeFront chas-
sis. Because the alarm card has no IP communication capability, it requires a proxy that will intercept its com-
munications and pass them on to the ForeSight 6100 via IP. Currently, only the Patton Model 3096RC can be
used in this proxy role.
Note
The ForeSight 6100 makes the assumption that its chassis are set up
exactly like their real world counterparts.
