companies in the industry, allows partner companies to develop their own
cards within openGear. The openGear rackframe is a 2RU modular frame
designed to accommodate up to 20 cards. A wide variety of cards are
available from openGear terminal equipment manufacturers. This allows
facilities the freedom and flexibility to choose the best technology for
their particular applications and not be locked into one manufacturer's
frame standard and module choices. Cards from all openGear manufacturers
adhere to common control protocols and are controllable via the Ross
DashBoard openGear control system which allows quick and easy IP based
monitoring and control over all frames and modules on the network.
