COMMON CONTROL CARDS

PROCESSOR CARDS

The iDCS 500 requires a processor card or cards in order to operate. In a single cabinet iDCS 500
system, only one processor card, the Main Control Processor (MCP), is required. When the system is
expanded to two or three cabinets a second, Signal Control Processor (SCP), is required for the main
cabinet to assist the MCP and each expansion cabinet requires its own Local Control Processor (LCP).
These processor cards are described below.
Main Control Processor (MCP)
The Main Control Processor (MCP) is installed in a dedicated processor slot, slot 10, of the first cabinet
and has positions for three daughter boards. The first daughter board (LOC1) can support one of
four types of daughter board, a Multi-Frequency Module (MFM), a Switch/Conference Module (SCM),
an R2/CID Module (RCM), in a single cabinet system and is required to support the Expanded
Switching Module (ESM) in a multiple cabinet system. The second daughter board position (LOC2)
can support the MFM, the SCM, the RCM or the Local Area Network (LAN) board in a single cabinet
system. This position is also required to support the Inter Processor communications and Memory
(IPM) daughter board in a multiple cabinet system or a system running the L version software. The
third daughter board (LOC3) can support a Miscellaneous (MISC) daughter board or a Local Area
Network (LAN) daughter board in a single cabinet system or a LAN daughter board in a multiple
cabinet system.
