Three different versions of QuStream's Port Expander Panels are available :



Switcher Port Expander

QuStream’s PRC Switcher Port expander offers two individual 1x4 port switches enabling user to expand when multiple PRC paths are required. The 1RU box is designed to mount near the system controller and isolate cable runs back to the 3500PRO or 3500PRO-LE controller. This is extremely useful in larger system where multiple cables need to be segmented for identification and cable routing. The front panel provides individual LED status for TX/RX connections as well as error and power on status.



RS485 Panel Port Expander

QuStream’s Panel Port expander offers two individual 1x4 port switches enabling user expansion when multiple RS485 paths are required. The 1RU box is designed to mount near the system controller and isolate cable runs back to the 3500PRO or 3500PRO-LE controller. The front panel provides individual LED status for TX/RX connections as well as error and power on status.



Serial Port Expander

QuStream's Serial Port Expander allows users to expand their RS-232 capabilities above those provided by the basic 3500PRO or 3500PRO-LE controller. Based on QuStream’s GPN (General Purpose Node) chassis, the Serial Port Expander works as a multiplexer to handle messages sent from users to the controller. Internally, the Serial Port Expander software application runs under the Linux O/S and can be user configured to assign port connections. Up to seven RS232 ports can be connected as either 1x7 or 2x3 configurations using QuStream’s CPU-link open control interface protocol.
