How does a IPSI board work in a G650? How do they connect to the main processor? 3

I'm not familiar with the G650s and I have 4 of them remote. When I do a display cabinet I see carrier B and A with G650-port PN 25.
Don't fully understand what that means. If I see a analog phone with 20B0616 is the 20B part of a cabinet?

The IPSI controls the cabinet and the cards within it. It talks to the processor via IP.
You can have multiple port networks and each port network can contain multiple cabinets.
The analog phone on port 20B0616 belongs in port network 20 in the B cabinet, on board/slot 06 on port 16.

Thank you Sean. When I do a disp cabinet xx it shows:
E
D
C
B G650- port PN 15
A G650- port PN 15

I looked up online the configuration of a G650 with a diagram but still not clear on what the letter represent. Does the letter represent the shelves from top to bottom 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ? Why on my disp cabinet there are only 5 letters?

It shows ou have an A carrier and a B carrier.

Up to 5 G650 gateways could be connected together to form one port network that basically duplicated the old Definity Multi Carrier Cabinet. It shows up in the config as one PN with up to 5 carriers which would be A through E. One IPSI in carrier A could control the entire stack.

In normal setup you would have at least 2 IPSI cards, the 2nd one would take over in case the 1st one fails are becomes unreachable.
If the no IPSI are working in that Port Network then no resource in that PN would be available. In a G650 setup, a carrier is a G650 gateway.
