NETCPU & NETOSD MODULE
A VideoBloX system is controlled by a single master CPU module. For an expanded
system, with multiple chassis, it is possible to interconnect the chassis and have a single
CPU module control the entire system

All system configurations are carried out by means of a PC running Windows 95 / 98 /
98SE / 2000 / XP or NT, which connects to the CPU module. Once configuration is
complete, the PC may optionally be detached or used as a system activity logger. All
configuration information is stored in non-volatile memory and is retained during a power
loss for one month.
The NETCPU & NETOSD module monitors the operation of all modules installed into a
chassis or sub-chassis. The software/operating system is installed into this module.
