General Description
The XCPC-9100 is the most advanced CompactPCI (cPCI) carrier in the market that offers all
the features of an eight port switch and can accommodate two PrPMC or PMC modules. The
XCPC-9100 switch can be programmed for such features as VLAN. The Carrier can reside in
the system controller slot (host slot) or as peripheral slot (agent slot). As the system controller
the P2P (PCI to PCI bridge) runs in transparent mode and will configure the cPCI bus. As a
peripheral, the P2P bridge runs in non-transparent mode. The Carrier is also compliant to the
cPCI 2.16 chassis. In the cPCI 2.16 chassis that do not have the PCI bus routed, the module PCI
bus is held in the rest on the secondary side. This allows the two PrPMC/PMC sites to come up
independently from the CompactPCI without any adverse effect to either.
In addition the XCPC-9100 has on board an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) semi-managed layer
two type switch. The switch allows the PrPMC/PMC’s that route their GbE to their user define
pins on the PMC site J4 connector to be connected directly to the switch. Two ports of the GbE
switch are routed to the CompactPCI bus J3 connector per PICMIG 2.16 specification. In
addition two ports are routed to the front of the XCPC-9100 Module. Some features of the
switch are listed below:
•
Fully integrated 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet
•
Switch can be reconfigure to provide special functions such as VLAN
•
Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab standards
•
Support for jumbo packets up to 9Kbytes
•
Full wire speed on all the ports
•
Layer two managed (only certain features are supported contact Xembedded Sales)
The XCPC-9100 is hot swappable per cPCI specification with the Blue LED. The XCPC-9100
has an on board micro-controller that report the FRU information to the BMC. The micro-
controller is also used to do the management of the switch (i.e. such as VLAN configuration,
Mirroring, Rate Limit, etc.). Not all the features of the Layer two managed switch is implement.
