EX7000-OEM Introduction 9
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The EX7000-OEM family is the first scalable series of microwave subsystems built on an open-
architecture Ethernet/LXI platform. It provides a common hardware platform and software
communications interface that is designed to simplify the development of custom radio frequency
interface unit (RFIU) requirements, while maintaining the look and feel of a standard product. The
EX7000-OEM is designed for the end users who want to design and build their own RFIU, while
minimizing development time of software and relay control.
The EX7000-OEM consists of an LXI Class A compliant digital controller interface and a
72-channel relay driver board. Optional driver expansion boards are available for designs that
require additional drive control (up to eight per interface).
