  • Page 5: Overview

    The 7700FC Frame Controller card provides a single point of access to communicate with VistaLINK ® enabled 7700 series of cards. The 7700FC provides a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet port and communication is facilitated through the use of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The 7700FC handles all SNMP communications between the frame (7700FR-C) and the network manager (NMS), and serves as a gateway to individual cards in the frame.
