The 7800FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller card provides a single point of access to communicate with VistaLINK®-capable modules. The 7800FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller provides a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-TX Ethernet port and communication is facilitated using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The 7800FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller handles all SNMP communications between the frame (7800FR) and the network manager (NMS), and serves as a gateway to individual cards in the frame. The 7800FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller also provides an RS-232 serial port interface for customer configurations.
