1.3 Module Interfaces
The VSX 3000, VSX 5000, and VSX 7000s are multi-chip standalone modules that meet overall level 1 FIPS 140-2
requirements. The cryptographic boundaries of the VSX 3000, VSX 5000, and VSX 7000s are defined by the hard
plastic or metal covers that include all the hardware and software components as shown in figures Figure 1 through
Figure 5.
Ports and interfaces on the module can be categorized as the following FIPS 140-2 logical interfaces:
• Data Input Interface
• Data Output Interface
• Control Input interface
• Status Output Interface
Ports and interfaces of the VSX 3000 system are shown in Figure 6 below. The ports on the module’s connector
panel are listed below, and mapped to logical interfaces in Table 2 below.
• BRI connectors – For ISDN calls
• Stereo connector – For headphones or desktop speakers
• Composite video connector – Video input to the system from camera or VCR/DVD
• Audio connector – Audio input to the system from VCR/DVD
