System Module
Overview
The PathBuilder S600 includes the following two system modules:
n
Management Central Processing Unit (MCPU) module
n
STX Module
Management CPU
Module
The MCPU module, located in slot 1 of the PathBuilder S600 shelf, performs all
configuration, monitoring and user interface functions. It features the following:
n
Management processor
n
Two RS-232 interfaces (one for terminal interface and one for SLIP/PPP
interface)
n
Ethernet port (for management of the PathBuilder S600 via the network)
n
CPU memory consisting of a real time clock, battery backup RAM, and dual
FLASH. The dual FLASH is used so that the code can be upgraded and two
copies of the code can be stored at one time. The CPU can run either copy of
the code under user control and the CPU code can be upgraded on-line.
n
One relay contact for Major Audible Alarm. This alarm relay is normally open. It
indicates a major alarm upon power failure, or whenever the CPU determines
there is a major Alarm. An ACO push button is provided to cut off the alarm
(open the relay). The CPU also accepts one external alarm from outside
equipment for which the alarm indication is activated when the input pins are
shorted.
n
A SAR interfacing an ATM bus. The SAR is used for communication and
signaling. It can send and receive packets from the ATM network under CPU
control. The user interface allows you to enter management VCs in the same
way any other VC is entered. Management VCs terminate on the CPU SAR.
