Surge Protection and Failure Detection Module
This module protects the equipment against lightning and detects the failure of the anti-lightning
circuit. If the surge protection fails, the PIU reports the alarm signals to the AND1CXPA/
AND1CXPB.
Communication Unit Module
This module has the function of reporting the board manufacturing information, PCB version
information, and alarm signals about the surge protection failure.
Slot ID Module
This module reports the slot ID information to the AND1CXPA/AND1CXPB.
Board In-Position Module
This module reports the board in-position signals to the AND1CXPA/AND1CXPB.
