CHIB Hardware Reference Introduction
CTI Products, Inc.
1. Introduction
The CommandSTAR Lite Host Interface Module (CHIB) is a member of the
Monitoring and Control Network (MCN™) family of User Interface Modules.
Hardware specifications and configuration information are described in this
manual.
The CHIB module connects to a CommandSTAR Lite Console. The CHIB
module is used with the MCN RCD software and a Comparator I/O Module (such
as a CIB or AIB) to create a comparator display system on the CommandSTAR
Lite console. For status display, the CHIB module maps the Vote, Receive,
Disable, and Fail indications to the console LEDs. For control, the CHIB maps
the Force Vote and Disable buttons on the console to the corresponding function
on the Comparator I/O Module (AIB or CIB).

CHIB Hardware Reference Theory of Operation
CTI Products, Inc.
2. Theory of Operation
The CHIB module does not provide any direct monitoring or control functions.
Its purpose is to bridge the MCN network to the CommandSTAR Lite console.
The CHIB module emulates a series of I/O modules on the CommandSTAR Lite's
I/O communications bus. Since the console's I/O bus is RS-485, an RS-232 to
RS-485 converter is required between the CHIB and the console.
The CHIB supports multiple baud rates from 9600 baud up to 115.2K baud,
selectable from the rear panel.
The CHIB module can communicate with only one Comparator I/O module (CIB
or AIB). It is limited to the following number of receivers:
CHIB module operating with AIB Module: 14 Receivers
CHIB module operating with CIB Module: 8 Receivers

2.1 Status Indications
The CHIB maps the Voted, Receiving, Disabled and Failed indications from the
comparator to LEDs on the CommandSTAR Lite console.

CHIB Hardware Reference Theory of Operation
CTI Products, Inc.
The comparator generates the status signals. They are passed through the AIB or
CIB module, through the MCN network, through the CHIB, the 485 converter,
and into the console.
2.2 Comparator Controls
The CHIB maps buttons on the console to the Force Vote and Disable controls on
the comparator. The CHIB forwards the messages on to the AIB or CIB, which
then pass the signals or messages to the comparators.
The CHIB module does not provide direct feedback to the console operator on its
own. Control feedback (the Voted or Disabled LED) comes from the comparator
as described in Status Indications, above.
2.3 Vote Hold Feature
The Vote Hold feature allows an extended Vote Indication on the console. This
provides the operator an indication of which site the last call came from. When
all Vote signals go inactive, the CHIB will hold the last voted indication ON for
the period of time specified on the Vote Hold Time switches.
If a new site votes during the Hold Time, the CHIB will display the new site, and
will re-start the hold Time at the end of that transmission.
Vote Hold times are switch selectable from 0 (off) to 63 seconds, in increments of
1 second.
2.4 Console LED Blank Feature
If the CHIB looses communications with the AIB or CIB for a period of about 20
seconds, it will turn off all console LEDs that are mapped to it. This indicates that
communications is lost. It will set the console LEDs to their proper state when
communications with the AIB or CIB is reestablished.
