ATS Market Needs
• Allow extensions of existing Nodebus based systems
with Mesh Network workstations and controllers
• Provide Carrierband LAN replacements and upgrades
• Provide Nodebus consolidations with Mesh Network in
lieu of Carrierband LAN
• Enable upgrades of nodebus based workstations with
Mesh based workstations
• Enable upgrades of nodebus based controllers with
xCP270 controllers

Z-Module Form Factor ,Optionally Redundant
Installs in standard 1x8 slot(s)
Choice of 100MB fiber or copper connections to Mesh Network
Dual nodebus connection per module
Dual Mesh network connections per module
Designed to functionally replace LAN Interface module
No ATS module configuration or programming required
Translates message destinations from nodebus to Mesh and vice versa
Price: approx. $6,000/module
ATS Installation Details
ATS Module Specifications
• Communication speed: 10 Mps nodebus side, 100
Mbps Mesh Side
• Raw Packet throughput: Up to 3000 pps (Nodebus
limited to 600 pps sustained)
• Minimum I/A Versions Supported: V6.1 on nodebus,
V8.1 on Mesh
• Redundant module switchover time: < 1 second
• CE Certification? No, requires enclosure

ATS and V8.1 guidelines
• ATS’s can be connected to nodes at V6.x or V7.x.
• The host of an ATS must be a workstation at release V8.1 or later.
• ATS supports OM and alarm messages without changes to the
user interfaces or controllers.
• A node can have only one ATS.
• Only one node in a multi-node system may have both an ATS and
an LI.
• Multiple ATS’s on one IA system can connect to only one V8.x
network
• ATS raw message throughput capability is much greater than a
node can generate.
• Nodebus hosts cannot boot Mesh based controllers but nodebus
hosts can boot nodebus based controllers thru ATS
Future ATS Capability Planned
• V8.x hosts booting nodebus based controllers: CP60,
CP40B, CP30B, AB30B, MD30B, DI30B, and ACM’s
(note, no plan to support A style controllers)
• V8.x hosts configuring nodebus based controllers
(including ICC, FoxCAE and IACC)
Release details TBA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solaris on the Mesh guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
•
V8.2 Solaris on the Mesh will be based on Solaris 10
V8.2 Solaris will be offered to existing P79/P80/P81
customers to allow upgrades from V7.x to V8.x.
Follow on platform to P81/SB1500 will be Chicago
platform (Sun is discontinuing SPARC based
desktops)
Display Manager may not be offered with V8.2 due to
change in Window Manager- Foxview only support
V8.2 Solaris will include boot hosting and configuration
of style B nodebus controllers over ATS plus xCP270’s
V8.2 Solaris will include system monitoring of Style A
nodebus controllers over ATS – customers can either
retain V7.x host or upgrade controllers.

V8.2 Solaris will include Foxview 10.x
V8.x Solaris will use UTC for system time (no more daylight savings
time transition issues)
V8.x XP functionality not planned for Solaris V8.x:
• Time synchronization (requires V8.x XP workstation in the
configuration)
• SOE, TDR (requires V8.x XP workstation in the configuration)
• Message Manager (requires V8.x XP workstation in the
configuration)
• Foxdraw 10.x runs on XP only
• No control-in-the-box on Solaris V8.x
• Informix removed from media, to be offered separately for
custom applications
Continued focus on XP platforms for engineering tools

Solaris Upgrade Strategies Recap
• I/A Series Workstations will continue to be offered with
Solaris OS
• V7.x Solaris Workstations can be offered with a Mesh
network and new controllers via ATS
• V7.x Solaris Workstations purchased now can be
migrated to V8.x later
• P79, P81 workstations will be available through much of
2006.
• Solaris 10 based workstation will be introduced with V8.x
• V8.x Solaris based systems will require an XP
engineering workstation
• New Engineering tools will be supported on Windows XP
only but they will work with Solaris based systems
