Smart Ethernet switch card CP342

2 portEthernetgigabit Ethernet

Overview
CP342 is a CompactPCI dual Gigabit Ethernet controller board based on the Intel® 82546GB, providing flexible copper or fiber connectivity and optional remote PXE boot.

Key features

• Dual Gigabit Ethernet NIC
• IEEE802.3x compliant
• Copper (RJ45) or Fiber (SFP) connection
• Remote PXE boot via optional flash
• Automatic speed sensing and switching

Product information
The CP342 implements two independent Gigabit Ethernet channels on a CompactPCI board using the Intel® 82546GB controller. It supports front-panel copper interfaces (2x RJ45) or fiber modules (2x SFP) for flexible I/O options. The optional onboard flash enables PXE-based remote booting from another system over the network. The controller supports Jumbo frames up to 16 KB to improve large-data transfers. IP, TCP and UDP checksum offloading reduce host CPU load and increase throughput. Adapter teaming is supported when used with the appropriate driver software.
