EXNET® Features

The EXNET® features the following:

• Single Socket Host Control - allows all host/node messaging through a single node. Messages to remote nodes (slaves) are routed using the Logical Node ID.

• EXNET® Redundancy - installing a second EXNET® ring provides ring redundancy. If one ring goes out-of-service, the second ring carries all traffic.

• Fault Recovery - provides recovery capability if an EXNET® ring or node fails. The EXNET-ONE cards loops back their EXNET® ports where necessary, and the complete ring is maintained. If a node’s connection to the ring is broken, the ring connection among the remaining nodes is maintained.

• CSP Conferencing - allows channels on any node in multi-node CSP to connect to a conference, using a single DSP resource. The DSP resource can be located in any node on the EXNET® ring.
