Description

The ATC800 is an AdvancedTCA Gigabit Ethernet switch that serves a number of egress ports using FP sockets and one XFP socket for 10Gigabit Ethernet. In addition the module has five 10/100/1000-BaseTX ports in the front. The use of the SFP sockets allows each port to be loaded with a plug in module to support Ethernet over fiber, either single-mode or multi-mode, or copper. This flexibility allows a mix of fiber/copper interfaces to meet changing customer requirements.

The ATC800 switch has a total of 50 egress ports. The module has a 10GbE port on its fabric channel for fail-over across two ATC800 boards. In addition, the module has inter-switch communication across it’s two switch fabrics to support full wire speed on all the ports. The module routes 18 ports to Zone 3. 

The ATC800 IPMI controller can be configured to run as the shelf manager or as a Node. When used as the shelf manager, this allows customers to not have dedicated shelf managers in the system which reduces the total cost of the system.

The ATC800 runs Open Architect™firmware for it’s network management software.
