    Overview

    The LINK+ Integrated Connectivity System (ICS) is the most full-featured, high-performance TDM networking product available. The LINK/2+, miniLINK/2+, and microLINK/2+ use a modular design and software downloading for flexibility and high reliability. All three use the same modules and support the same features and functionality. The Network Control Module (NCL) oversees the operation of the entire system and also interfaces to the network management system. The Interlink Module (ILC) controls distributed communications on digital intermachine links between LINK/2+ Systems at speeds from 4.8 Kbps to 2.048 Mbps.

    LINK/2+ can be configured as one, two or three nests, each having the capacity to hold 18 modules. The first nest houses the NCLs and the ILCs with the remaining slots and nests available to house the various other modules. The NCL, ILCs, and power supplies are available with 1:1 redundancy. LINK/2+ optionally offers the ability to be powered from +48VDC.

    miniLINK/2+ has a single nest with the capacity to hold up to 13 modules. The NCL, ILC, and power supply are available with 1:1 redundancy.

    microLINK/2+ has a single nest with the capacity to hold up to 6 modules. The NCL, ILC and power supply are available with 1:1 redundancy.
