General
The
grouping of products with a common frame and mains power supply
benefits the user by providing economy and maximum utilisation of
valuable space.
Different modules, including digital and analogue, may be mixed in
the one frame to provide a compact solution to system design and
ease of later expansion.
Provision is made for two power suplies for redundancy, although the
frame can be used with only a single supply.
With two supplies fitted, the FRU-4001 will take up to 10 IRT
current series Eurocards. If only a single supply is fitted, the
maximum number of Eurocards icreases to 12 by removing the second
power supply rear assembly.
When
fitted with a CDM-4001 SNMP
Agent module the FRU-4001 frame has the added capability of Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) monitoring and control. The
CDM-4001 has its own designated
slot and does not affect the number of modules that can be loaded
into the frame.
SNMP allows remote monitoring and control of modules via an Ethernet
connection by a computer using third party Network Management
Software. Modules must be fitted with their own relevant Management
Information Base (MIB) sub modules.
The FRU-4001 frame will take all IRT 4000 series Eurocards as well
as current 700 and 3000 series Eurocards that have the correct type
of power connector on the rear assembly.
