3.1 Cabinet
Description of the PSS
5000 cabinet
The cabinet is a single box solution. It houses the hardware and software com-
ponents of the PSS 5000, and it functions as a connection box for all the fore-
court devices.
The cabinet is robust, which protects the contents from knocks and jolts, and
when closed the cabinet ensures that the PSS 5000 retains its CE approval. It
is designed to be mounted on a wall in a non-hazardous environment (electri-
cal room or office). This gives easy access to the contents of the box via the
hinged door on the front.

3.2 CPU Board
List of CPU Board parts The PSS 5000 has its own CPU Board, which consists of the following parts:
• CPU processor and operating system
• Flash-based program memory
• Ethernet support
• Number of physical ports
• Sealing switch
• Onboard UPS
• Local Service Panel
CPU Board processor
and operating system
The CPU Board, with its processor and operating system provides a fast and
stable platform for the PSS 5000. The operating system is Linux, which has
been custom built to fit this purpose. This ensures that the necessary perfor-
mance and priorities for time-critical tasks are met, while leaving plenty of
headroom for future feature developments.
CPU Board physical
ports
The CPU Board is fitted with a number of physical port connectors. The table
below provides descriptions of the individual ports.
CPU Board Ports Descriptions
DSB These ports provide serial interfaces to the devices
connected to the PSS 5000.

Primary Ethernet The Primary Ethernet port enables you to connect the
PSS 5000 to a PC, either directly or through a Local
Area Network (LAN).
Secondary Ethernet The primary function of this port is to provide direct ac-
cess to the embedded web server. This means it can
be used by service personnel, who do not have access
via the network connected to the Primary Ethernet port.
Note: The 2 ports are isolated from each other, pre-
venting access between the networks.
