7800FC

7700/7800 Frame Controller

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