Input/Output Interfaces

Ethernet Interface

The MVME5100 incorporates dual Ethernet interfaces (Port 1 and Port 2)
via two Fast Ethernet PCI controller chips.
The Port 1 10 Base-T/100 Base-Tx interface is routed to the front panel.
The Port 2 Ethernet interface is routed to either the front panel or the P2
connector as configured by jumpers. The front panel connectors are of the
RJ45 type.
Every board will be assigned two Ethernet Station Addresses. The address
is $0001AFXXXXX where XXXXX is the unique number assigned to
each interface. Each Ethernet Station Address is displayed on a label
attached to the PMC front-panel keep-out area.
In addition, LAN 1 Ethernet address is stored in the configuration area of
the NVRAM specified by the Boot ROM and in SROM.

VMEbus Interface

The VMEbus interface is provided by the Universe ASIC. Refer to the
Universe User's Manual for additional information.

Asynchronous Communications

The MVME5100 provides dual asynchronous debug ports. The serial
signals COM1 and COM2 are routed through appropriate EIA-232 drivers
and receivers to an RJ45 connector on the front panel (COM1) and an on-
board connector (COM2). The external signals are ESD protected.
Real-Time Clock & NVRAM & Watchdog Timer
The MVME5100's design incorporates 32KB of non-volatile static RAM,
along with a real-time clock and a watchdog function an integrated device.
Refer to the MVME5100 product data sheet for the latest information on
the specific device used and to that device's data sheets for programming
and engineering information.
