SX-2000 MICRO LIGHT System
The SX-2000 MICRO LIGHT system is a non-redundant configuration that can support up to 
four expanded peripheral nodes or two DSU nodes.
The SX-2000 MICRO LIGHT node consists of the following components:
• Control cards: The SX-2000 MICRO LIGHT cabinet contains a 
Main Controller card and 
a 
Control Resource card. The Main Controller card is located in slot 1 (PLID 1 1 1), and 
the Control Resource card is located in slot 2 (PLID 1 1 2).
•  Peripheral Switch Controller Card (PSC): The 
Peripheral Switch Controller card per-
forms all the peripheral switch functions for up to twelve Peripheral Interface cards 
(twenty-four with an expanded peripheral node). The PSC card is installed in slot 16 (PLID 
2 1 16).
•  Peripheral Interface Cards: The SX-2000 MICRO LIGHT cabinet holds up to eight 
Pe-
ripheral Interface cards
. These cards join telephone trunks and peripheral devices (such 
as SUPERSET telephones) to the system. The Peripheral Interface cards are located in 
slots 4 to 11 (PLIDs 2 1 4 to 2 1 11).
•  Digital Service Unit (DSU) Cards: The SX-2000 MICRO LIGHT cabinet holds up to four 
DSU cards. These are intelligent cards that provide specialized digital functions. The DSU 
cards are installed in slots 2 to 5 (PLIDs 3 1 2 to 3 1 5).
•  CEPT (Committee for European Posts and Telegraph) Interface Assembly II: This 
interface assembly provides four filtered BNC connectors (typically used with coax cable 
for Ethernet, video, and RF signals) for the external digital trunks that connect to the CEPT 
Formatter I and II cards. Most CEPT Formatter cards require a CEPT Interface Assembly 
II (depending on system set up, sometimes an Interface Assembly may be used).
•  Interface Assembly: This interface assembly provides RJ45 connection for the external 
digital trunks that connect to the DS1 Formatter I and II cards.
