Introduction
The EXB System Extender Modules are
members
of the Monitoring and Control
Network (MCN ™) family of control products.
They are used to connect multiple MCN
networks together or to extend the length of an
MCN network beyond 4000 feet.
Therefore,
multiple remote comparators can be controlled
from a central site.
The EXB System Extender Modules allow
simultaneous monitoring and control of Master
and Slave comparators in wide-area voting
systems. Multiple EXB modules can connect
multiple MCN networks in real time, spanning
distances from campus-wide to worldwide.
Different EXB units are available for use over
various types of wide-area infrastructures:
The EXB-IP System Extender Modules use
any
10Base-T copper-based Ethernet
channel.
The EXB-FI System Extender Modules use
any 10Base-FI fiber-based Ethernet channel.
Both the EXB-IP and EXB-FI utilize the IP
protocol over Ethernet media and both can
coexist on a wide-area IP network with other
IP devices such as workstations, servers, and
IP routers.
Additionally, they can exist on
dedicated Ethernet IP networks, where the
only devices on the network are EXBs and
(optionally) physical layer hubs.
The most
common occurrence of a dedicated network is
a set of EXB-FIs connected with dedicated
fiber.
The EXB-IM System Extender Modules use
analog channels that are capable of carrying
V.32
terbo standard modem signaling,
including standard 2-wire or 4-wire leased
lines, or microwave channels.
The EXB-232 Modules use asynchronous
serial channels for the wide-area network
connection.
