The 7700FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller card provides a single point of access to communicate with VistaLINK® capable modules. The 7700FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller provides a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet port and communication is facilitated through the use of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The 7700FC 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 7700FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller also provides an RS-232 serial port interface for custom configurations.
