-The entire CM package uses the Xport AR as the main processor as well as a few additional components to implement the desired functionality. a RS232 level shifter from Maxim IC is used to communicate with the serial port of the Orbit node, two solid state relays to act as software controlled switches to emulate power and reset push buttons. The device will also recognize physical push button presses for power and reset. There is also a computer monitoring chip (as in previous CM versions) that will monitor voltage levels of the node and temperature. This chip communicated over I2C which is also used to communicate with the nodeID box.

This chip communicated over I2C which is also used to communicate with the nodeID box. Both the NodeID box and the monitoring chip require I2C to function, however the Lantronix Xport AR does not support I2C functionality at this point. Should that option become available, it will be added.
