The Vector is an Ethernet based system, it incorporates two processors, one running VX Works for the real time and the other running Windows XPE for the user interface.

Everything connects internally via Ethernet, all the keyboard panels, output boards, multimedia boards, etc, have their own DSP and then everything connects to an internal Ethernet hub.

There are three Ethernet sockets on the back, two connect to the Vector network (one crossed and one straight) and the other just connects to Windows.
