ESI Communications Servers Product Overview

Port cards supported
ESI Communications Servers support a wide range of port cards. Any E2 port card can be used on the ESI-1000, ESI-600,
and ESI-200 with the use of an additional E2 Port Card “Hot Swap” Adapter (as for the ESI-100, see “Hot-swap operations,”
below the following table). The CS port cards (not for use with the ESI-100, ESI-50, or ESI-50L) are full-size cards with
built-in “hot-swap” capability, along with a special “ejector-handle” mechanism that makes them literally a snap to install
or uninstall. The following port cards are supported:

Note: The ESI-50’s built-in IVC 12 can support up to 12 local IP stations or up to 8 remote IP channels. It can use local IP, remote
IP, and Es-Link channels in various combinations, which are activated in blocks of four for local IP, singles for remote IP,
and blocks of four for Esi-Link. However, the combinations cannot exceed a total of 12 stations/channels.
Hot-swap operations
“CS” port cards — full-sized cards for use on only the ESI-1000, ESI-600, and ESI-200 — have built-in hot-swap
capability, allowing you to replace them while the system is powered-up. To achieve hot-swap capability with an “E2”
port card requires mounting it onto a “Hot-Swap” Port Card Adapter prior to installation on the ESI-1000, ESI-600, or
ESI-200. However, installing a new port card requires power-cycling the system to allow it to recognize the new card.
Note: For a more complete description of the port cards, and additional details concerning hot-swap operations on compatible ESI
Communications Servers, consult the ESI Communications Servers Hardware Installation Manual (ESI # 0450-1049).
