EDM 01-18 DAG 4.5G2/G4/GF Card User Guide
Card
Description
The DAG 4.5 card provides two or four optical or copper Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces. It is capable of full line rate (1,000Mbps) capture and transmission
of Ethernet traffic and is protocol independent. Full packet capture at line
rate allows recording of all header information and/or payload with a high
precision timestamp.
Note: The DAG 4.5G2/GF has two ports, the DAG 4.5G4 has four
ports.
The key features of the card are:
•
Two or four SFP ports for 1000Base-SX or 1000Base-LX optical
Ethernet or 1000Base-T copper Ethernet,
•
Header only or variable length capture,
•
Full line rate transmit,
•
100% capture into host memory at full line rate for IP packets from 48 to
9600 bytes
•
Conditioned clock with PPS input and local synchronization capability.
•
PCI-X 64-bit 66/100/133 MHz bus interface with 3V signaling.
•
Failsafe optical relays to connect the two ports on the card in event of a
power failure (DAG 4.5GF only).
The DAG 4.5G4 card is shown below:
SFP Cages
Pluggable Optical
Connectors x 4.
Note : Pluggable
copper connectors
are also supported.
FPGA with
fan fitted
RJ-45 socket for
time synchronization
Note: Although the DAG 4.5G4 supports full line rate capture or
transmit across all four ports, maximum combined throughput (i.e.
simultaneous capture and transmission) is limited by the bandwidth of
the PCI-X.
