Component Overview
Chassis
The Net-Net 9200 is based on a multi-slot chassis with 13 slots, 7 in the front and 6
in the rear. It requires 7 x 1.75” linear rack units of space and can be front- or centermounted in standard 19” wide equipment racks, with an option for 23” wide
equipment racks.
The chassis is based on a mid-plane architecture with processing units that plug into
the front of the chassis and interface units that plug into the rear of the chassis. The
cabinet is self-contained and uses forced-air ventilation to keep the system cool.
The front view of the chassis looks like this:

Processing Units
Processing units are inserted into the front of the Net-Net 9200 chassis. They are
responsible for system, network, and transcoding processing. Processing units use
interface units to connect to the network.
The following sections explain each available processing and interface unit option at
a glance.

The SPU processing unit acts as the chassis manager and the session control
processor. It consists of 10 CPUs that handle both the management and signal
processing within the chassis. The primary SPU is responsible for configuring and
monitoring the health of all cards in the chassis. It is capable of powering cards on
and off, retrieving hardware and software version information, and resetting cards.
It also interacts with the Network Processing Unit (NPU) and Transcoding Unit
(TCU) to perform call and media control. The SPUs operate in a 1+1 (1 active + 1
standby) redundancy mode for high availability. This processing unit includes one
LED that indicates if the card is active, and one LED that indicates the operational
status of the card.

The SPU2 module performs the same processing functions as the SPU1. However,
it is paired with an NPU2, and provides an increase in SIP call capacity and
registrations per second compared to an SPU1/NPU1 pair. The SPU2 module may
ONLY be paired with an NPU2 module. All hardware maintenance is performed
identically to SPU1/NPU1 unless noted.
Unlike SPU1 which requires optional SSM2 hardware for SIP-TLS encryption of
signaling, the SPU2 includes (4) built-in security co-processors for functions
performed by SSM2.

media bandwidth policing, packet marking, and QoS measurement. SFE functions
include hardware based access control, traffic management and DoS protection. The
NPU utilizes state-of-the art network processors, traffic management components
and other specialized hardware components to deliver scalable, low-latency media
processing and forwarding functions. Media packets are selectively forwarded to the
transcoding unit when media transcoding is required. NPU cards are deployed in a
1+1 (1 active + 1 standby) redundancy mode for high availability. This processing
unit includes one LED that indicates if the card is active, and one LED that indicates

Redundancy: 1+1
The TCU processing unit provides the Net-Net 9200 with the ability to convert
between media streams of different formats and packet sizes. This enables devices
and whole networks with incompatible media capabilities to communicate with
each other. The Net-Net 9200 decides to transcode a media stream on a call-by-call
basis, based on call signaling configuration. TCU cards are deployed in an N +1 (1
(or 2) active + 1 standby) redundancy mode. If a single TCU fails, the standby TCU
becomes active and takes over transcoding responsibilities for the failed card. TCU
failures are transparent to call and media processing. This processing unit includes
one LED that indicates if the card is active, and one LED that indicates the
operational status of the card.
Each TCU can accept up to four Transcoding Modules (TCM). A TCM is a daughter
card that contains DSP hardware used for transcoding applications. At least one
TCM is required on each TCU. Redundant TCUs must have mirrored TCM
configurations, meaning that all TCUs must contain the same number of TCMs, in

Power Supplies
The Net-Net 9200 supports AC or DC power in dual redundant configurations.
Power Supply
Redundancy
The Net-Net 9200’s two redundant power supplies provide on-board power load
sharing and switchover circuitry. These circuits are labeled as A and B. While facing
the rear of the Net-Net 9200, power circuit A is located on the left-hand side, and
power supply B is located on the right-hand side.
A Circuit
B Circuit
The B circuit will assume powering the Net-Net 9200 in the event that the A circuit
malfunctions, and vice-versa.
Power Switches
and LEDs
The Net-Net 9200’s power switches are located on the rear of the AC and DC power
supplies. They are recessed and located next to the “1/0” marking. The Net-Net 9200
has no other power switches. For normal operation, the switches on each power
supply should be in the ON position. Setting the switches on all installed power
supplies to the OFF position immediately shuts off the Net-Net 9200.
Note: When set to the off position, current still flows through the NetNet 9200. To completely power off your Net-Net 9200, disconnect the
main power circuits or disconnect the power cables from the chassis.

Cooling Components
The Net-Net 9200’s active cooling system keeps all components operating at high
efficiency. Cool ambient air is pulled in through the perforated chassis side panel,
directed over all electronic components, and exhausted out of the rear of the chassis.
The Net-Net 9200 contains two fan trays, which are continuously monitored for a
variety of operating conditions. In the event that one fan fails or an over temperature
condition in the chassis is discovered, the Net-Net 9200 can adjust the fans’ speeds
to compensate and make the system operate within specification until the model can
be replaced. The rear fan module is labeled as 0, and the front fan module is labeled
as 1.

System Architecture
Chassis management and call signaling applications run on the SPU, which is
connected to all other processing and interface units in the chassis via a GigE
network. The primary SPU's responsibilities include downloading software, setting
configurations, and monitoring the health of all cards in the chassis. The SPU can
power cards on and off, reset cards, and retrieve hardware and software version
information. The SPU is also the platform for all system management applications.
The signaling applications resident on the SPU exchange protocol signaling and
system control messages with the NPU to perform call and media control.
Each SPU is paired with a dedicated MIU interface unit that provides three
management interfaces, used primarily for EMS control, RADIUS accounting, CLI
management, and SNMP queries and traps. MIUs also include standard console and
alarm ports.
The NPU is responsible for forwarding media packets along the data plane and
propagating signaling packets to the control plane. Two network processors
facilitate the movement of packets along both of these planes. Network information
of endpoints is stored in Content Addressable Memory (CAM) by the NPU's media
control application so that network address translation (NAT) can be performed on
media and signaling packets.
Four NIUs make up the Net-Net 9200's Ethernet interfaces that connect to the
network. Only two NIUs can be active at one time, with a dedicated hot standby NIU
for each primary one. All of the NIUs are connected to the NPUs via the internal
GigE network to provide maximum failover protection. If any one of the 2 NPUs or
4 NIUs failover in any way, service will remain uninterrupted.
The TCU processing unit converts between two media streams encoded with
different codecs. This makes communication between previously incompatible
devices and network deployments possible. Transcoding decisions are made on a
call-by-call basis and are provisioned in concert by the media control application and
the transcoding server. In a transcoded call, media packets enter the Net-Net 9200
through an NIU, traverse the NPU up to the TCU, travel back to the NPU, and out
through an NIU again.
The Net-Net 9200 system can recover from a card or module failure by switching to
a hot standby while maintaining all call processing. Removal of an active card
