7700 MultiFrame Manual
7700FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller
Revision 1.4.7 7700FC-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7700FC Frame Controller card provides a single point of access to communicate with VistaLINK
®
enabled 7700 series of cards. The 7700FC provides a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet port and
communication is facilitated through the use of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The
7700FC handles all SNMP communications between the frame (7700FR-C) and the network manager
(NMS), and serves as a gateway to individual cards in the frame. The 7700FC also provides a RS-232
serial port for customer configurations.
Features:
• Complies with IEEE 802.3 100Base-TX and 10Base-T Ethernet standards
• 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet or 10 Mbps Ethernet data transfer, selected by auto-negotiation
• Full duplex or half-duplex operation, selected by auto negotiation
• RJ-45 connector for network cable connection
• RS-232 serial control port for configuration
• Front panel LEDs indicate module fault, microprocessor state, activity and link status
• Rear panel LEDs indicate Ethernet link, activity and speed
• Supports “ftp” upgrades for frame-wide firmware upgrades (product specific)
• Provides frame/chassis status information through enabled hardware via VistaLINK
