This VistaLINK Frame Controller Card with 3RU Rear Plate from Evertz Microsystems provides a single point of access to communicate with VistaLINK-capable modules. It features a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-TX Ethernet port, and communication is facilitated through the use of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The VistaLINK Frame Controller handles all SNMP communications between the frame (7700FR/7800FR/350FR) and the network manager (NMS), and it serves as a gateway to individual cards in the frame. An RS-232 serial port interface is provided for customer configuration. This card must be placed in slot 1 of the frame.
