The module’s built-in microcontroller handles configuration and management. On-board memory holds dual application images, boot code, MAC addresses, and other parameters, and can also be used for program execution. An RS-232 serial port enables communication between the module’s on-board management microcontroller and a host processor. Epsilon’s built-in microcontroller is also accessible via a web management interface over one of the Ethernet ports.
Managed 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Matches PC/104 Footprint
Diamond Systems Corporation, a leading global supplier of compact, rugged, embedded computing solutions for real-world applications in a broad range of markets, today unveiled Epsilon, a managed Layer 2 managed Ethernet switch module offering eight 10/100/1000Mbps copper twisted pair ports on a PC/104 form-factor board. Epsilon can be used standalone, without any connection to a single board computer, or in conjunction with a host CPU.
