Description
Overview
The EPM-NET-100 module combines a high-performance 10/100 Megabit per second
(Mbps) Ethernet interface with an on-board DiskOnChip nonvolatile storage site.
It features a high-speed PC/104-Plus PCI system interface to support high network
data rates.
The Ethernet section, based on the AMD 79C973 controller, provides a standard
10BaseT and 100BaseTX network interface. Software drivers are available for
a wide variety of operating systems to provide a complete high-performance
networking solution. The Ethernet controller features auto-negotiation for standard
twisted-pair (10T/100TX) operation using a modified 10BaseT link integrity test
pulse sequence. It automatically configures to match the speed of the connected
hub without the need for jumper or software configuration.
An optional Ethernet boot-ROM site allows the system to automatically boot
from a server at power-up, eliminating the need for a local hard or floppy drive.
Details
The EPM-NET-100 module also provides a socketed DiskOnChip site for Flash File
Systems. The completely nonvolatile solid state memory is ideal for both program
and data storage. Normally the DiskOnChip operates like a standard disk drive
and supports normal file type reads and writes. Most operating systems also
support the DiskOnChip as a bootable device, allowing 100% solid state program
storage. Combining both Ethernet and Flash expansion on a single module provides
considerable cost and space savings for systems that do not have adequate Flash
capacity.
The EPM-NET-100 module is plug compatible with any PC/104-Plus expansion site.
It is not compatible with older PC/104 type systems that do not include a high-speed
Plus connector.
The EPM-NET-100 is fully compatible with a wide selection of popular operating
systems including most Windows and Real Time Operating Systems.
The module features high reliability design and construction, along with Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) and complete functional testing. It is backed by a two-year limited warranty
and VersaLogic’s outstanding service and support.
