 1 x COM port on the front
 2 X USB port (these are for future use)
The LAN interface on the System Controller Board is for management/call control signalling. Note that management is
disabled on Enet2. This interface is only for call control.
The 2 LAN interfaces will allow you to connect to two different non-overlapping IP-networks so that participants
with no IP-routing between them can be joined in the same conference. At least one Media Processing Board must
then be connected to each network. The 2xLAN interfaces will also give the TANDBERG MPS support for two
Gatekeepers, one on each network.
To use the ‘COM 1’ port you need a RJ-45 to RS-232 converter. See section ‘8 Technical Description’ for further
details off the System Controller Board and the COM port pin out.
