Quad Ethernet board for high-density compact PCI

Trident Infosol offers SBS Technologies" new CP3-Quad 100 TX, a full hot swap capable, 64-bit/66 MHz 10/100 Ethernet card for 3U compact PCI computing applications with zero tolerance for system downtime. The high density CP3-Quad 100TX provides four independent, high-performance 10 base T/100 base TX Ethernet interfaces. CP3-Quad 100TX"s 64-bit/66 MHz PCI interface supports 66 MHz host systems with no degradation of backplane performance. The single slot installation and compact design of the CP3-Quad 100TX is well-suited for small, rack-mounted systems. It supports combined data rates of up to 800 Mb/s full duplex and 400 Mb/s half-duplex. Back-to-back transmission with minimal interface latency is facilitated with 3 kbytes of transmit and 3 kbytes of receive FIFO for each port. The built-in physical layer interface unit in the Ethernet controller supports auto-negotiating protocol selection. Four front panel RJ45 connectors allow direct network connectivity. LED status indicators for monitoring the link and activity of each port are located on the front panel. Software support: A Vxworks(r) 5.4 driver for PowerPC and Intel platforms is available from SBS Technologies. Other available drivers include: Windows NT(r) Linux (eepro100 driver included in the kernel), and freeBSD (driver included in the kernel).
