The EC9535 GSC Node Bus Converter is a communications protocol converter designed to allow
Miranda’s NV8288, NV8288-Plus or NV8500 family routers (NV8144, NV8140, NV8280, NV8576, or
NV8576-Plus) to communicate with an SMS7000 router control system.
To be used with an SMS7000 directly, a router must have (1) a GSC Node Bus connector and (2) a
control card that follows the SMS7000 protocol. The NV8288, NV8288-Plus and the NV8500
family routers do not have these items.
The EC9535 provides the GSC Node Bus connector and the control cards that follow the
SMS7000 protocol. The SMS7000 connects to the EC9535, which in turn, connects to the router:
The EC9535 interprets commands from the SM7000, sending equivalent commands to the
router. It also interprets status messages from the router, returning their equivalent to the
SMS7000.
Using UniConfig, you can configure the EC9535 so that the SMS7000, the EC9535, and the router
can communicate.
Follow these broad steps to configure an EC9535. Details follow.
1 Set up communication between UniConfig and EC9535. See Setting Up EC9535 Communi-
cation on page 94.
2 If you intend to use an Ethernet connection to UniConfig, set up initial parameters so that
UniConfig and EC9535 can communicate over Ethernet.
3 Set up the EC9535 partition. See Setting Up EC9535 Partitions on page 95.
4 Configure EC9535 switch points. See Setting Up EC9535 Switch Points on page 97.
