System Controller Board Interface

TANDBERG MPS 800

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.

TANDBERG MPS 200

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 Chassis

System Controller Board

The System Controller Board takes care of the following functions:

•Call control

•System management

•The embedded Web server

The LAN and Enet2 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 be connected to each network.

The 2 x LAN interfaces will also give the TANDBERG MPS support for two Gatekeepers, one on each network.

Rear View

Only the LAN interface Enet2 is in use. No other sockets on the rear System Control- ler Board are in use.

LAN Interface

The second LAN interface (Enet2) of the System Controller Board is accessible from the rear side.

The Enet2 interface is only in use if you are connecting the MPS to two separate IP networks.
