The grouping of products with a common frame and mains power supply benefits the user by providing economy and maximum utilisation of valuable space.
Different modules, including digital and analogue, may be mixed in the one frame to provide a compact solution to system design and ease of later expansion.
Provision is made for two power supplies (AC or DC) for redundancy, although the frame can be used with only a single supply.
With two supplies fitted, the FRU-4001 will take up to 10 IRT current series Eurocards. If only a single power supply is fitted, the maximum
number of Eurocards increases to 12 by removing the second power supply rear assembly.
When fitted with a CDM-4001 SNMP Agent module the FRU-4001 frame has the added capability of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) monitoring and control.
The CDM-4001 has its own designated slot and does not affect the number of modules that can be loaded into the frame.
SNMP allows remote monitoring and control of modules via an Ethernet connection by a computer using third party Network Management Software.
Modules must be fitted with their own relevant Management Information Base (MIB) sub modules.
The FRU-4001 frame will take all IRT 4000 series Eurocards as well as current 700 and 3000 series Eurocards that have the correct type of power connector on the rear assembly.
