Communications Module
This section provides reference information on the Communications module (part
number 23413012-000-0) that functions as a master controller for the SSU-2000e.
Functional Overview
The Communications module installs in slot A2 and provides an interface between
the user and the SSU-2000e system. This interface allows users to display and
control much of the activity in the SSU-2000e system and the optional SDU-2000e
expansion system. The Communications module supports three serial ports
(including one local craft port) and one Ethernet port, and allows communication
over each of them independently in one of several possible modes (ASCII mode,
TL1 mode, and packet mode).
The software in the Communications module allows for reprogramming of its flash
ROM and for reconfiguration of all programmable logic devices, while installed at
the user’s location. The Communications module also allows for this same
capability for the input and clock modules. The software on all other modules
installed in the SSU-2000e system can be updated by downloading it through the
Communications module.
