To check the firmware version of an Output Driver Card, perform a RTRV-
NETYPE-ALL query and observe the lines associated with output driver
cards, each of which will contain firmware version information. Refer to the
following example:
rtrv-netype-all:::sc1; sending this command produced the response of
the following lines

In the above response, there are four output cards identified. The lines
starting with S0-OUT5C and S0-OUT6C identify output cards in slots 5 and
6 of the master shelf. In bold type on each of these lines is shown the
firmware version of the output cards. The one in slot 5C contains R4209A so
it will work fine in expansion shelf 16H. The card in 6C contains R4114C, so
it needs to be upgraded if it is planned to be used in expansion shelf slot
16H. The 2nd section of responses shows cards in the expansion shelf
(configured with rotary switch set to 2 - see installation instructions for
details). This expansion shelf has output driver cards in locations 12F and
14G. The card in 14G contains firmware version R4114C, so it would also
need to be upgraded before it could be used in 16H.
1.7.3 Expansion Controller Card (090-55545-01)
This plug-in card is only used in the expansion shelf. At least one expansion
controller (EC) card is required for the expansion shelf to function properly.
An EC card can be inserted at the leftmost (EC1) or rightmost (EC2) slot on
the expansion shelf (see Figure 1-5). The overall function of the EC card is
the same regardless of which of these locations are used. The reason to use
two EC cards in the shelf is entirely to support redundancy. If one card
should fail, the other will maintain proper operation.
The EC card provides the following basic functionality:
• Buffering of timing and framing signals sourced by clock cards in
the master shelf, and delivery of those signals to the expansion
