Hot-swap and high performance, our feature rich "C3" controller provides an excellent and reliable platform for our comprehensive line of switching and distribution products.
Designed to provide the latest web browser control and operation for all our systems, it also provides "backwards" compatibility to systems already in the field. It integrates with both our G2T (touchscreen) and G2 (keypad) type chassis. It smoothly interfaces with our control software platform RoutwarePRO as well.
Today's satellite communication, ATE and broadcast applications demand reliability and stability. Our extensive C3 development process has resulted in an elegant and dependable platform. When we provide switching and distribution equipment solutions for these critical applications, our C3 controller CPU is at the heart.
The C3 has built-in 10/100/1G Ethernet and multi-serial (RS-232C, RS-422A & RS-485) ports to provide remote access and control for automating your signal connections. Sophisticated features like SNMP (v1/v2C/v3) IPv4, and IPv6 are standard. For popular connection schemes, you can also store and recall your own popular connectivity layouts in the on-board flash. A microSD chip can be added for applications where system settings must remain in a secure or secret facility.
The built-in web browser provides easy setup and control without any additional software, or the unit comes with a 30-Day free trial of our control and monitor software package called RouteWarePRO.
As demonstrated in the picture to the left, our larger systems accept two of the C3 controllers for applications that require hot-swap redundancy. Not only does this provide a redundant controller, but a redundant set of control ports as well.
