1.3About The IXD1110 Demo Board

The IXD1110 demo board provides a working platform for the evaluation of the IXF1110 in 1000 Mbps fiber optic applications. All ten network ports provide a 1000BASE-SX connection through the GBIC Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules (not included).

The IXD1110 demo board contains one IXF1110 device, one SPI4-2 interface connector, ten GBIC SFP connectors, and one plug-in CPU daughter card. The SPI4-2 interface connector allows for loopback connection.

Note: In loopback mode, the board cannot be tested or used with other devices or equipment.

Connection can be made to an alternate SPI4-2 device or to another IXD1010 or IXD1110 demo board utilizing a SPI4-2 connector board. In these modes, the SPI4-2 interface can be tested for lengths greater than that in loopback mode.

The attached CPU daughter card uses the IXF1110 CPU interface to access all registers and RMON statistics through the supplied IXF1110 software.
