The nodal processor module (NPM) is a 68040 microprocessor-based system controller that runs the software for controlling the IGX switch. The NPM communicates with the other system cards over the control bus. The NPM performs the following major functions: runs the software for controlling, configuring, diagnosing, and monitoring the IGX switch; sends configuration and control commands over the control bus to other cards in the switch; receives statistics, status, and alarm messages from the other cards in the switch; generates all system bus control signals for directing the interpretation of address buses and controlling data transfers; communicates with other nodes in the network. The NPM communicates with all other nodes through a trunk that uses a reserved queue on the trunk. The NPM communication link with other nodes carries information about new connections, topology changes, and rerouting.
