MLC 8000 Analog Comparator Interfacing
The MLC 8000 Analog Comparator can also handle up to 64 receivers, connected over IP, but the
linking between the MLC 8000 Analog Comparator and the MCN Server 8000 system is handled
differently from the GCM 8000.
The MLC 8000 Analog Comparator is made up of two types of units:
•
VGU MLC 8000 Analog Comparator (which connects to the console)
•
AGU MLC 8000 Subsite Link Converter (which connects to the BRs)
We need to know information from both types of units
