1. Introduction
The ASTRO-TAC™ Comparator Interface Module (AIB) is a member of the
Monitoring and Control Network (MCN™) family of Comparator I/O Modules.
Hardware specifications, special installation, and configuration information are
described in this manual.
The AIB module connects a Motorola ASTRO-TAC™ (VSELP signaling) or
ASTRO-TAC™ 3000 (APCO Project 25 IMBE signaling) Comparator to the
MCN network. An AIB is used with an MCN User Interface Module, Motorola’s
ASTRO-TAC™ or ASTRO-TAC™ 3000 Comparator and a user interface device,
such as a console or PC, to create a comparator display system. The comparator
display system provides monitoring and control functions for your
communications system. Receiver states monitored by the AIB include VOTE,
RECEIVE, DISABLE and FAIL. Receiver functions that can be controlled
include FORCE VOTE and DISABLE.
