The Multicon controllers communicate internally over the Nevion MBUS protocol to exchange
status information and perform settings across physical controllers (for internal use between con-
trollers only and not visible externally).
Note: As a design rule it is recommended to keep the Multicon systems
as small as possible, i.e. place only equipment that needs to be managed
from the same Web interface and Control Panels into the same Multicon
system.
4.2 VikinX Sublime
Multicon is used to control VikinX Sublime, Compact and 3rd party routers. Multicon is also used
as an interface between VikinX Sublime/Compact routers and Control Panels.
Figure 4.4 shows how to use Multicon to control a VikinX Sublime router over TCP/IP and a
VikinX Compact router over the Network Control Bus (NCB) via a RS-232 connection to the router.
