System Operation
The system diagram above shows a typical system with both a
local PC and a remote PC. The remote PC may be connected
via leased-line or dial-up modems.
The CIB Comparator Interface Modules mount near the
comparator and control and monitor up to 8 receivers each.
They pass the Vote, Receive, Disable, and Fail indications
from the voting comparator to the MCN network.
The receiver data is passed over the network to the HIB
modules and then on to the PCs.The Force-Vote and Disable
control commands from the PC are passed through the HIB
module through the MCN network to the CIB modules.
The CIB modules accept the Force-Vote and Disable
commands from the network and generate the Force Vote and
Disable outputs to the comparator.
Dial-Up Applications
For maintenance purposes, the PC display can be used over
dial-up lines. Since the PC does not have to be dedicated, it
may be used for other applications when not monitoring the
comparator.
Technicians can even diagnose after-hours
system problems from home using a properly equipped
portable PC and dial-up modem.
Alternate Network Interfaces
CTI Products has other MCN network interfaces for various
applications:
 PCLTA Internal PCI card.
Available in 78 kB standard speed
and 1.25 Mb high speed versions.
Eliminates the need for a serial port.
 HIB-IP Remote Network Interface that connects
over an IP network.
