Vanguard 7300 Functions and Features
Feature Cards and
Mezzanine Cards
Vanguard 7300 Series products are highly scalable with Vanguard Networks-
supplied option cards and half-size Mezzanine Cards. Currently Vanguard 7300
Series products support these full-size cards:
• Processor Card (the Central Processor Unit (CPU))
- MPC750 - with a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port
- IBM750FX - with two 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ports
• Carrier Expansion Card
• T1/E1/PRI Card with T1/E1/PRI Rear Transition Module
• T3/E3 ATM Card that includes:
- Standard Carrier Expansion Card
- T3/E3 Rear Transition Module
• Serial Card with Serial Rear Transition Module
• Token Ring Card
Each of these cards occupies a full slot
in a Va
nguard 7300 chassis.
The Vanguard 7300 Series also supports the following half-size piggyback cards,
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI
) Mezzanine Cards, known as PMCs:
• 10/100BaseT Ethernet PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC)
• Voice PCI Mezzanine Card (a custom T1/E1/PRI card PMC)
• T3 ATM PCI Mezzanine Card (a custom T3 ATM card PMC)
• Advanced Encryption Card (AEC)
A Vanguard 7300 PMC does not require a chassis slot, but mounts on top of one of
the
full-size V
anguard 7300 cards. The full-size card serves as the PMC’s host.
For example, a single 10/100 BaseT Ethernet PMC can be hosted by
the Vanguard
7300 CPU Card, or two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet PMCs can be hosted by the Carrier
Expansion Card. The T1/E/1PRI Card’s Voice PMC can only be hosted by a
Vanguard 7300’s T1/E1/PRI Card.
