PEG4BPFi-RoHS
INCLUDES: CARD, DRIVER CD

Silicom’s Quad Port Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Bypass server adapter is a PCI-Express X8 network interface card that contains four on a PCI-E adapter.

Silicom’s Quad Port Gigabit Ethernet Bypass server adapter supports Normal, Bypass and Disconnect modes. In Normal mode, the ports are independent interfaces. In Bypass mode, all packets received from one port are transmitted to adjacent port.

In Disconnect mode, the adapter simulates switch / rout cable disconnection. In Bypass mode, the connections of the Ethernet network ports are disconnected from the interfaces and switched over to the other port to create a crossed connection loop-back between the Ethernet ports.

Hence, in bypass mode all packets received from one port are transmitted to other port and vice versa. This feature enables to bypass a failed system and provides maximum up time for the network. In Disconnect mode, the adapter simulates switch / router cable disconnection. In Disconnect mode, the switch / router does not detect link partner of the adapter.

Silicom’s Gigabit Ethernet Bypass server adapters include an on board WDT (Watch Dog Timer) controller. The adapter’s software drivers or software application can write commands to the on board WDT controller. The adapter’s software drivers, WDT controller and the Bypass circuitry provide an interface that control and manage the mode of the adapter.

Silicom’s Quad Port Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Bypass server adapter is based on Intel 82571 Dual port Gigabit Ethernet MAC+PHY of Intel Controller.

Bypass:

  • Bypass / Disconnect Ethernet ports on Power Fail, System Hangs or Software Application Hangs
  • Software programmable Bypass, Disconnect or Normal Mode
  • On Board Watch Dog Timer (WDT) Controller
  • Software programmable time out interval
  • Software Programmable WDT Enable / Disable counter
  • Software programmable Bypass Capability Enable / Disable
  • Software Programmable Disconnect Capability Enable / Disable
  • Software Programmable mode (Bypass, Normal or Disconnect mode) at Power up
  • Software Programmable mode (Bypass, Normal mode) at Power off
  • Independent Bypass operation in every two ports
  • Emulates standard NIC

Fiber Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-SX:

  • Independently Fiber Gigabit Ethernet channel/s support Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-SX
  • Small Form Factor (SFF) LC Connectors
