Superloops / Controllers
The image right is a NT8D01BC Controller-4 card.
It is installed in each IPE shelf between slots 7 and 8.
The Superloop Network card combines four regular network loops to make 120 timeslots available to peripheral equipment (PE) cards housed in
Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) Modules. Faceplate connector J2 is used for shelf 0.
An IPE Shelf has four card segments. A Superloop can be used for each segment (zero blocking), or shared bewteen 1 to 8 segments (two
shelves). The back-plane wiring configuration (J1, J2 - SL0/SL1/SL2/SL3) must match the software configuration.
The NT8D01BC Controller-4 card interfaces with up to four superloop network cards, eg. one superloop per segment.
The NT8D01BD Controller-2 card interfaces with up to two superloop network cards, eg. one superloop per 2 segments.
Note: Do not enable the switch on NT8D04 or QPC414 Network cards until after the network loop cables are installed.
Note: This was written before the days of IP, but it's still applicable! With MGC or MGX cards, the SUPT (superloop type) is
IPMG. You will need to know the Zone before hand. At IPR0, enter the Shelf 0 IP address. At IPMG_TYP0 (IPMG type) enter
MGC (default), MGX, or MGS. Shelf 1 is IPR1, enter through if not present.

Diagnostic commands:
Occasionally, loops STAT as enabled/responding, but the IPE shelf is dead. Bouncing the controller in LD 32 should restore service.
