CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING THE AXN SYSTEM 23
The task file is renamed appropriately.
Configuring the Axon controller
The AXN backplane controller (AXN/BCU/40x), is the controller of all traffic flowing across the AXN backplane. It
ensures all modules in the chassis are programmed correctly and aggregates data from all AXN user modules in
the chassis, transmitting the data over its dual 1000BT Ethernet ports. It acts as a time master of all modules in the
chassis, taking time from IEEE 1588 PTPv1 or PTPv2 Grandmaster and synchronizing all user modules in the
chassis. It is also capable of acting as a PTPv1 or v2 Grandmaster itself, synchronizing other DAUs in the system
to the correct time. It also contains a Linux based operating system allowing all modules in the chassis to be
configured over a web interface.
