Module controls four network channels

A new 3U CompactPCI network controller from MEN Micro offers four fast Ethernet ports for the control of multiple network confi gurations, including fi rewalls, gateways, routers, and fi eldbus-data concentrators. The single-slot F211 controller features four full- or half-duplex channels that support 10BaseT and 100BaseTX physical layers and provide autonegotiation, collision, and link detection with a maximum data transfer of 200 Mbps. Each of the four channels has a unique MAC/IP (media-access-control/Internet Protocol) address, enabling the F211 to function in a redundant mode when you use the lines in parallel for high-availability systems. For harsh and mobile applications, the 32-bit, 33-MHz F211 operates over an extended temperature range of -40 to +85°C. The controller comes with software drivers for the Windows, Linux, QNX, and VxWorks operating systems. The price for the F211is $544, and delivery is within six weeks.
