The 7800FC
Frame Controller card provides a single point of access to communicate with
-capable modules. The 7800FC
Frame Controller provides a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-TX Ethernet port and communication is facilitated using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The 7800FC
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
Frame Controller also provides an RS-232 serial port interface for customer configurations.
