Application
The Ring Control card is used as service card in the Falcon product to support ring configurations
or in order to connect two different ATM networks.
It supports the traffic forwarding in a ring, the drop function on a destination interface or to
activate ring loop backs in case of broken links within a ring.
With the ring controller card the traffic between two network interface modules can be managed.
The user can specify to drop or forward all connections or to specify the pass or drop function on
dedicated connections. For each connection statistics are available.
Rings with active backup connections in the opposite directions are supported as well as rings
with passive, standby ring paths.
The card can be configured using the console port (RS232) or in combination with an installed
controller card via the 2 redundant Ethernet. All configuration parameters are stored locally and
non-volatile. The entire function of the module is controlled by the on-board CPU. The firmware is
stored in the on-board Flash memory.
The card supports hot-plug and hot-swap according to the Compact-PCI specification.
