4. IPC-16-R Control Card
Item # 1340065
Two Control Cards are available for use in the RSS systems; IPC-16-R and IPC-1-R , providing remote access
control through network in-band and serial out-of-band circuits.
IPC-16-R: Both Ethernet TCP/IP and Serial Connections, Individual and Gang AB card control
IPC-1-R: Ethernet TCP/IP, Gang Control Only,
WEB
Through a web browser interface, you can access the control card, obtain current status information and operate
the A/B Switches
SNMP
The system can be managed by SNMP through standard management software. Dataprobe provides a private
MIB.
Telnet– IPC-16-R Only
Through a telnet client, you can access the control card, obtain current status information and operate the A/B
Switches. This is also the method for setting configuration parameters of the card
TCP Messaging – IPC-16-R Only
A direct TCP messaging protocol is supported for direct computer control of the A/B switching system.
Serial – IPC-16-R Only
The serial port on the IPC-16-R provides direct terminal access or via modem. The A/B Cards are controlled either
by a menu selection or by command line strings (escape code sequences). Menu selections are ideal for easy
operator interface and the escape code sequences streamline automated control.
4.1. Dual Control Cards RSS-16
The RSS-16 chassis has two control card slots for supporting either; two IPC-16-R networks control cards, or one
IPC-16-R and either the IOC-16-R or IOC-1-R I/O access cards.
When two network cards are installed both cards must be configured the same except for individual IP addresses.
The user must also control network access to avoid any conflicts in control contention.
Each controller provides pulsed control signals to the A/B switch cards. The switch cards will be positioned
according to commands from the last network controller or I/O access card used.
When a IPC-16-R Network control card and either IOC I/O access card is used, any contact closure externally
provided thru the I/O access card will override the network control if the external contact is not momentary.
