Description

DSS Network's GigMAC PMC Model 7160 is a high performance Gigabit Ethernet controller for embedded applications in broadband telecommunication and data communications networks. It provides a single port 1000 base SX multimode or 1000 base LX single mode fiber connection and is fully IEEE 802.3 compliant. Additional long distance LX connector options are available supporting up to 20km.

It uses an advanced 3rd generation, high-performance, low power Gigabit Ethernet media access controller from National Semiconductor and a Fiber Serdes from Vitesse. It provides an onboard intelligent DMA engine and supports wire-speed bus-master DMA operations utilizing maximum PCI bandwidth. Its 64-bit PMC card design makes it a drop-in interface in both CompactPCI and embedded mezzanine controller environments.

It is an ideal solution for today's converged, bandwidth intensive, multi-protocol networks. Applications include Switches, Edge Routers, Media Gateways, Broadcast Digital Audio and Video, Streaming Media, Internet Voice, Network Attached Storage, Storage Area Networks, Network Security Servers and Digital Imaging Products.

This product is available with an OEM Developer Kit containing VxWorks (5.4/5.5/6.x), Linux (2.4/2.6) and Windows (2000, XP) device drivers, sample code, utilities, release notes, user manuals, integration guide and datasheets.
