Preface

The Netra CP2500 Board Programming Guide is written for program developers and
users who want to program the Netra

CP2500 board in order to design original

equipment manufacturer (OEM) systems, supply additional capability to an existing
compatible system, or work in a laboratory environment for experimental purposes.
You are required to have a basic knowledge of computers and digital logic
programming to fully use the information in this document.

The Netra CP2500 can be used by network equipment providers (NEPs) and carriers
to scale and improve the availability of next-generation, carrier-grade systems. The
Netra CP2500 functions as a node board in a cPSB system rack or as a CPU board in
the Netra CT 810 or 410 cPCI server.
