1 CPU-ETH2 Enhanced Ethernet Controller Card
1.1 Introduction
The DENSITÉ-CPU-ETH2 Controller supports all on-frame communication between cards, and incorporates a front
control panel for local control and adjustment of the frame and installed cards. The CPU-ETH2 Controller serves as
the communications port for control and alarm information entering and leaving the frame. In addition to all the
features of the basic controller, the CPU-ETH2 controller features an Ethernet port for system-wide monitoring and
control of DENSITÉ frames, using Miranda’s control solutions or a third party monitoring system. This controller card
is compatible with the TCP/IP protocol, can control up to 20 cards within the same frame and can support polling or
report on error modes (unsolicited messaging).
1.2 Features
