The 500FC-DA-HD VistaLINK Frame Controller with Distribution Amplifier card provides a single point of access to communicate with VistaLINK enabled 500 series of cards. The 500FC-DA-HD provides a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet port and communication is facilitated through the use of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The 500FC-DA-HD handles all SNMP communications between the frame (500FR) and the network manager (NMS), and serves as a gateway to individual cards in the frame. The 500FC-DA-HD also provides an RS-232 serial port at the card edge to set up the network addresses.
