AMC module hosts intelligent network processor
AdvancedMC module is one of the first cost-effective packet processors that is available now for customers, and is ideal for compact MicroTCA systems.
With four Gigabit Ethernet lanes to the Fat Pipes Region, the module is fully optimised to avoid potential bottlenecks.
An optional port mapping of AdvancedMC port 10 to port 0 and port 11 to port 1, and two lanes of Gigabit Ethernet to AdvancedMC Ports 0 and 1 are provided in the Common Options Region for the control plane to meet certain application requirements.
An IPMI v1.5 compliant AMC.0 Module Management Controller (MMC) subsystem is included with the Telum NPA-58x4, initialising board level parameters, monitoring board voltage and temperature conditions, maintaining system status, and managing hot swap operation for high availability applications.
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms provides a comprehensive development package designed to improve time to revenue.
A Linux Support Package (LSP) and sample application code, designed to exercise the Telum NPA-58x4, are provided to aid in application development.
Other operating systems are available on request.
To further improve customer time to market, optional software modules such as an IPv4/IPv6 stack, IPSec, QoS management, multicast forwarding, IP filtering, VLAN, L2 tunneling and application programming frameworks will also be available from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms and/or its partners.
