4.3 Cards and Application Modules
4.3.1 Universal Card
The universal card is the basic card in the WMTS. The universal card supports several
independent functions, such as the control and forward (C&F) application, or downstream and
upstream applications. This means it can function as a C&F card or as an upstream or
downstream digital card. The card is automatically configured according to its location in the
enclosure. When the downstream card is plugged into the mating rear slot, it implements the
downstream application. When the upstream card is plugged into the mating rear slot, it
implements the upstream application. When the universal card does not have any mated rear
module, it implements the C&F application and handles the traffic over the local network
