The PCI Segment object defines a group of adaptors controlled by a CPU card. The VP3000 contains two PCI Segments, one for the top half of the chassis and one for the bottom half. This arrangement means that you can achieve resilience and fault tolerance by using redundant resources in each of the two segments. For example, you can have an MTP2 adaptor card active in each segment, and use two MTP2 links to the same destination, one on each adaptor card; this means that, if one MTP2 adaptor card or one CPU card fails, there is still a link to the destination using the other card.
There are no configurable parameters, but the object provides status information about the PCI segment and its adaptors. You can enable and activate it using the pushbuttons.
Each PCI Segment object is a child of the Media Gateway object.
