such a multiplexer and adds scalability through a distributed processing architecture.
The 10 bays can be used to house up to two power supplies and any combination of
CPU and line cards.
The flexible design allows duplicate PSU, CPU and line cards to be installed in redundant
configurations such that the second card may act as a hot standby for the first in the
event of failure. The V200 also provides hot-swap capabilities such that line cards can
be added or older cards to be replaced without affecting the networks connected to the
cards in the remaining bays. When a card is replaced with another of the same type, the
configuration information is retained.
Cards are plugged in from the rear of the unit, and the status of the card in each bay is
monitored via LEDs on the front of the chassis. The cards may be monitored in detail via
the M&C port connected to a PC running a terminal emulation package such as
HyperTerminal under Windows™. The management interface may also be accessed via
the Telnet protocol in an IP network.
Performance standards have been dramatically raised in the V200 such that all Ethernet
ports are triple-speed Gigabit compliant with auto-MDIX capability and standard serial
data ports now operate at up to 10Mbps. Despite this, legacy support is still maintained
for very low data rates in older networks.

2.2.1.1 PSU Card

The wide-ranging AC power supply card has an IEC mains input, a fuse, and an integral
fan. Each card can supply sufficient power for a fully loaded chassis. When two power
supplies are installed, the card which powers up first supplies all the power to the
chassis while the second power supply provides none. If the first power supply fails, it is
instantly shut down and the second power supply is brought out of standby mode to
take over. Switchover occurs automatically when any fault or out-of-tolerance condition
is detected and the hot-swap facility allows the defective card to be replaced while the
unit continues to operate.
At least one PSU card must be installed in each V200 chassis.
