ConsoleServer 3200 System Lightwave Communications
Rev. A - 18 - www.lightwavecom.com
Each SCS3230 consists of three major components: the 3200 system chassis, 3200 DEVICE
cards, and 3200 access cards. The 'access cards' include the new 3230 NETWORK/CONTROL
card, which is the heart of the SCS3230 product, and makes it operate a bit differently.
Note: The 3200's NETWORK card and 10/100 Network card are NOT supported by the
SCS3230 NETWORK / CONTROL card. The NETWORK/CONTROL card incorporates its own
10/100 Network port.
3.1 3200 Chassis
The chassis contains a front-panel LCD for quick system information that is available at all
times. Two front panel buttons allow display selection and paging through displays (see
section 10.0 for more information).
The second major component of the chassis is the power supply module. This module contains
two independent supplies, each capable of sustaining the system should one supply fail or lose
its power input. The Power Supply module also incorporates the system fan. The AC power
module has two front-panel switches (one for each supply) with replaceable fuses in their IEC-
type connectors. The DC power module provides a single On/Off switch.
The third and last component of the chassis is the SWITCH card set. The switch cards connect
the access cards to the device cards, with a maximum of 17 simultaneous connections using all
available terminal, network, and modem ports.
3.1.1 Power Supply Module
The SCS3230 may be equipped with either an AC power module or a DC power module. The
power module may be field-swapped (although is not hot-swappable) if the available power
source requirements change.
The Power Module provides two discrete electrical inputs to the system. Either power input
supports a fully-loaded chassis, and switching between power inputs is automatic if one source
fails or is turned off.
3.1.2 3200 Switch Cards
Two 3200 SWITCH Cards are required, and are unchanged from the 3200 system.
