IP ROUTER / GATEWAY & DHCP SERVER for Gigabit Ethernet
KEY FEATURES
The COM-5404 is a layer 3 IP router which acts as gateway between a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) LAN and a digital clock-synchronous link to/from WAN
IP frames can be forwarded and received as 8-bit parallel or 1-bit serial data streams
A CRC is attached to each transmitted IP frame for error detection at the receiving end
1-bit serial streams are HDLC encoded and scrambled
IP offload engine (all IP protocols implemented in FPGA/VHDL) for maximum throughput performance and very low latency. Maximum throughput 950 Mbits/s (8-bit parallel interface) or 120 Mbits/s (1-bit serial interface)
Complies with IPv4 routers specifications RFC1812
Built-in DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to local IP clients, for ease of network management
Built-in DHCP client can be enabled to automatically fetch an IP address
Single 5V supply. Standard 98-pin PCIe female connector (right)
Typical application is to bridge islands of IP-based networks through fixed data rate satellite / wireless / cable modems:
