The 4100ES MINIPLEX/RTU system is comprised of a host panel containing everything
required in a standalone cabinet (see Chapter 1), plus:
One or more remote MINIPLEX transponder cabinets.
A transponder interface card (TIC) in each transponder cabinet.
RUI Communication wiring from the RUI module in the host panel can be extended to a
transponder interface card (TIC) in a remote transponder unit (RTU). The transponder
cabinet has at least one TIC module in it.
Australian 4100ES uses the Basic Transponder Interface Card (TIC) Module. Other
versions of TIC are not listed for use in Australia.
Transponder Interface Cards (TICs) transfer data from the 4100ES CPU to the slave cards
in the RTU.
The Basic TIC is an addressable slave card that contains RUI outputs, an audio riser
output, a user interface output, and a power and comms output for connecting to
legacy motherboards.
