  • Modular bus bridge
    Patent number: 6263391
    Abstract: The invention is a modular bus bridge that comprises an I/O controller board, an optional display, and various connectors. The connectors allow a choice of backplane mounting or cable connections. The I/O controller board interconnects bus interfaces and controls the display. The I/O controller board is connected to the display by releasable connectors, so the display may be optionally added or removed. The display allows an end-user to scroll through a menu presented on the display and select from the menu. The I/O controller board is coupled to a backplane connector for backplane mounting. A cable interface can be releasably connected to the backplane connector if cable connections are desired instead of backplane mounting.
