3.11.2 Quad Switch
The Quad Switch is a switching center and is used to dynamically configure active
SCRAMNet Classic and SCRAMNet
+
ring(s).
The Quad Switch provides dynamic configuration of up to five separate rings. Each
separate ring is connected to a port on the Quad Switch. Each ring can be isolated from
the other rings or can be included with one or more of the other attached rings.
There is a single logical ring internal to the Quad Switch. The Quad Switch has 5 external
ports which allow access to this logical ring. Ports 1 through 4 are accessible on the front
of the Quad Switch cabinet. Port 5 access is at the rear of the cabinet.
All 5 ports have standard SCRAMNet transmitters and receivers. Each port can transmit
data to and receive data from the internal ring.
The Quad Switch may be controlled by a host processor via the RS-232 serial interface.
Multiple Quad Switches may be daisy-chained via the RS 422/485 serial interface port.
3.11.3 Cabinet Kit
The Cabinet Kit for the SCRAMNet
+
Network permits adapting the node to the host
cabinet while still maintaining the shielding of the chassis. Access to the node’s
connections, and cable integrity is exterior to the cabinet. This eliminates the need to
remove the node board, once proper installation has been accomplished.
Cabinet kits are available for a variety of vendor chasis, and include the Compact and the
Extended models. The Compact Cabinet Kit is described in Appendix B.
