Vanguard 7300 Cards

PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC)

Introduction

 

 

 

10/100BaseT Ethernet Mezzanine Cards (PMCs)can be installed in the PMC slot on

 

 

the CPU card and in the two PMC slots on the Carrier Expansion Card. Because a

 

 

PMC does not require a full slot, it is mounted on a full-size card that serves as its

 

 

host. The following full-size Vanguard 7300 cards can host PMCs:

 

 

• CPU Card (one PMC slot)

 

 

• Carrier Expansion Card (two PMC slots)

Description

 

 

 

The 10/100BaseT Ethernet Mezzanine Card (PMC) mounts on the CPU card and

 

 

on the Carrier Expansion Card. This 10/100BaseT Ethernet PMC provides two

 

 

auto-sensing ports that can switch between 10BaseT and 100BaseT, depending on

 

 

the link data rate, to provide the highest possible 10 or 100 Mbps throughput.

 

 

An auto-sensing port detects the speed of hubs and adapters and negotiates

 

 

automatically for the maximum possible throughput speed. The Vanguard 7300

 

 

Ethernet interface complies with the IEEE 802.3 for 10BaseT and 100BaseT.
