CX3001
Communications Module |
The CX3001 Communications Module supports the remote configuration and
monitoring of modules in the CH3000 Chassis, monitors the chassis mid-plane alarm line
(and provides contacts for connection of external alarm equipment) and provides contacts
for connection of external chassis backup power. Mounted on top of any power supply
module, it does not require a dedicated slot in the chassis.
In addition to compatibility with Aurora’s Opti-Trace software, the module’s
standard SNMP proxy agent enables equipment monitoring and integration with other NMS
solutions. The CX3001 maintains a separate cache of status and configuration information
for each active CH3000 module during runtime.
One of the CX3001's two 10BaseT ports is used to interface with Aurora’s
Opti-Trace family of management software over a standard IP network. The second 10BaseT
port can be used to daisy-chain additional CX3001 modules to support monitoring of multiple
chassis per site, thus reducing requirements for external hubs. An RS-232 port provides an
interface for monitoring of externally connected equipment.
The CX3001 also provides automatic healing so that power-down failure will not
affect communications within a daisy-chain of remaining CX3001s; in this scenario, management
traffic will simply loop through the failed module.
Features
• SNMPv1 proxy agent monitors modules in CH3000 Chassis and external
equipment
• Easy integration with any standard SNMP-compliant NMS
• Provides status, alarms, configuration and SNMP traps
• Supports Aurora’s Opti-Trace family of management software over a
standard IP network
• Two 10BaseT ports; second port supports daisy-chaining of CX3001
modules in multiple chassis
• RS-232 port for external device monitoring (with auto-detection of AT1550
Series Transmitters)
• Normally closed, normally open and common contacts for driving an
external alarm
• Connector for external +12Vdc chassis backup power
• No additional chassis slot required (mounts on top of any power supply
module from rear of chassis)
• Hot plug in/out
