2.9 OPTIONAL LCN UPGRADE
The LCN upgrade kit can connect a base Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 systems into a standard
LCN system. There are 6 different LCN upgrade kits: one to accommodate either 5 or 7
empty chassis for nodes to be moved into. The installation process is fairly involved in that
those nodes not associated with the Universal Station node will have to be moved from the
Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 towers to individual 5-slot modules located in an LCN cabinet.
The 5-slot modules in the cabinet come equipped with a power supply and fan mounted in the
cabinet and coax cabling already assembled.
The History Module Drive must also be removed from the Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 and
reassembled in the WDA Module located in the cabinet.
Up to two Universal Station (US) nodes may remain in the Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 to
function with the coax interface, but must be relocated to appropriate slots. (Additional USs
will each require an additional Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 tower with multinode module and
power supply.) The remaining slots can no longer be used and blocking panels are included
with the upgrade kits. LCN coax connections from the console to the LCN cabinet and the
cabinet to the LCN system must then be performed. Different configurations are allowed for,
but there are a number of constraints to keep in mind. These constraints are listed in the
upgrade kit instructions.
Finally, you will need to reassign node numbers in the Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 to ones
that are compatible with the LCN system. Node reassignment is described in LCN Guidelines
- Implementation, Troubleshooting, and Service in the LCN Installation binder. Detailed
directions for performing this upgrade can be found in the MX-ZUKB50, 51, 52, or MX-
ZUKB70, 71, 72 Upgrade Kit Installation Instructions. The instructions you receive with the
upgrade kit will depend on the number of nodes being upgraded.
