1.1 TANDBERG MPS at a glance

Chassis
The TANDBERG MPS 800 has a 9U-19" rack-mountable chassis that can host up to 8 Media Processing Boards and
4 Network Interface Cards.
The TANDBERG MPS 200 has 3U-19" rack-mountable chassis that can host up to 2 Media Processing Boards and 2
Network Interface Cards.
Front view
The TANDBERG MPS chassis is 19" rack-mountable. On the front of the chassis is a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for
initial configuration and basic system information. You will also find 4 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for power status.
The backplane of the chassis is provided with advanced CompactPCI technology for high speed communication
between the boards. You will find 3 cooling fans in the lower front of the chassis.
System Controller Board
The System Controller Board is installed in the first slot in the chassis.
In the MPS 800 the first slot is the first from the left of the chassis.
In the MPS 200 the first slot is the first from the bottom of the chassis.
The System Controller Board takes care of the following functions:
 Call control
 System management
 The embedded Web server
Note
It is very important to not install the System Controller Board in any other slot than the first slot in the chassis. Doing
so can damage the System Controller Board.
The System Controller Board is equipped with the following interfaces:
 1 X LAN / Ethernet (RJ-45) 10/100 Mbit on the front.
 2 X LAN / Ethernet (RJ-45) 10/100 Mbit on the back (only 1 in use, Enet2)
 1 x COM port on the front
 2 X USB port (these are for future use)
The LAN interface on the System Controller Board is for management/call control signalling. Note that management is
disabled on Enet2. This interface is only for call control.
The 2 LAN interfaces will allow you to connect to two different non-overlapping IP-networks so that participants
with no IP-routing between them can be joined in the same conference. At least one Media Processing Board must
then be connected to each network. The 2xLAN interfaces will also give the TANDBERG MPS support for two
Gatekeepers, one on each network.
To use the 'COM 1' port you need a RJ-45 to RS-232 converter. See section '8 Technical Description' for further
details off the System Controller Board and the COM port pin out.
