IONADP

The IONADP is an adapter card that allows the ION Platform chassis to be backwards compatible with Point System™ modules. This adapter is designed to sit between a Point System™ module and the backplane of the ION chassis. The purpose of the IONADP is to lengthen the Point System™ module so it can be securely mounted in an ION chassis while also connecting to the backplane allowing the ION chassis to power the Point System™ module.

SNMP management of the Point System™ modules installed in the ION chassis is possible by using an existing Point System™ management module along with IONADP. The ION modules and the Point System™ modules are managed independently by their own respective management modules. The ION management module and the Point System™ management module would each require a unique IP address assigned to them, while Focal Point can be used to access the management information from each management module simultaneously.
