The ACM main system rack is the central unit in the whole system. It
onnets all el euiment an roies all main entral series
Several system racks can be connected via the data network.
The VINGTOR ACM family includes the following main system racks:
ACM-M-A-V2 (AlphaCom XE7)
ACM-M-D-V2 (AlphaCom XE7)
ACM-M-D/IP72 (AlphaCom XE7)
ACM-M-D/IP96 (AlphaCom XE7)

4.3.2 AMC-IP - AlphaCom Module Controller Board
All AlphaCom servers in the XE series have one AMC-IP board delivered
at shipment.
This AMC-IP board is the next generation multi-service board developed
for the STENTOFON AlphaCom XE series. The board is made for critical
communication and security solutions featuring an embedded real-time
