Overview
The RM675LC provides dual 100BaseFX Ethernet controllers combined with a local RISC processor and PCI bridge system. the result is a very high performance, extremely flexible solution to a variety of data transfer requirements. Designed using standard protocols (100Mbit Ethernet and PCI), the RM675LC is intrinsically economical, both in terms of direct unit cost and ability to utilize commodity LAN hubs and switches. The onboard RISC processor allows the RM675LC to be utilized in a wide range of applications. The most common use of this is "dual rail" access, where the choice of physical access is automatically switched by the RM675LC "failover" firmware. In the RM675LC’s simplest mode, all control can be kept in the system host with the RM675LC providing dual Ethernet access. Other options include “embedded TCP/IP” which allows the host to offload the TCP/IP host processor. Failover compatible drivers are available for the following: VxWorks®, HP-UX, Linux®, LynxOS®, QNX, Solaris® and Windows®.
