    Hot Standby Configuration Warning: All hot standby cards may be replaced without powering down the card cage. Dangerous voltages present inside the card cage may cause injury, death or component damage. Proper care must be taken when replacing the hot standby cards. Hot standby modules (serial, alarm, video or titler) require two slots (the only exception is the alarm module, which requires three card slots) and therefore have a different rear panel than typical configurations, as shown in the figures below.

    Note: The Netswitch-8 is not included in every V1500 system. Disregard this section if your system does not require a network switch. The Netswitch-8 is an Ethernet switch that may be purchased from Vicon. The Netswitch-8 is needed when network bandwidth becomes an issue, such as in systems that are passing video across the network. Using a switch instead of a hub in this case will improve network bandwidth utilization.
