Comparison of IPN-2 and IPN-3 Cards
The following table provides the similarities and differences between the IPN Series 2 and the IPN Series 3 cards. Host developers must take the differences into account to integrate the IPN Series 3 card into a CSP

All ports support 10/100 Mbps full/half duplex. Dip 4 control auto-negotiation or force full 100 Mbps Three Ethernet Ports configured as a single Link Aggregation Group. All ports connected to an unsecured public data network |
All ports support 10/100 Mbps full/half duplex. Dip 4 control auto-negotiation or force full 100 Mbps In the current release two ports are used: DATA 0 Future releases will include the following: - Four Ethernet Ports connected to an unsecured public data network: - Two Ethernet Ports connected the secured, Control network. - Redundant port links In the current release, the control ports and link redundancy on the data ports are disabled. For backward compatibility the IP Address Assign API message binds the motherboard IP address to the data network - not the control network. |

EXS API Interface and Usage |
See IPN-3. |
All messages used to interface with the IPN-2 card are used the same way with the IPN-3. All are identical except the following: Card/Module Status Report/Query (0xA6/0x83): The unused third module data is removed. Resource Attribute Configure/Query (0xE3/0xE4): Slight differences in the terminal capabilities. |

Port Consumption Mode |
Configure as either a port consuming or non-port consuming device. Granularity on line card level - not span level. In non-port consumption mode, can apply 3, 0, -2, -3, -4, -6, -9 dB of attenuation on both channels. Default is non-port consuming |
Configure as either a port consuming or non-port consuming device. Granularity is on line card level - not span level. Can have four fixed pads: Default is non-port consuming |
|
Resource Licensing |
Each channel is logical span takes up one resource point. Unlicensed IPN-2 provides 96 resource points per module. |
