1.3 Board Versions
1.3.1 CP342
This is the standard version of the CP342. It has a dual RJ45 connector on the front panel with
two LEDs integrated in each connector.
1.3.2 CP342-RIO
This version of the CP342 provides the basis for rear IO output. Both Ethernet channel signals
are routed to the J2 connector for rear IO capablility on backplanes which support rear IO.
There are no front panel connectors with this version, however, there are three operational
status LEDs for each channel available on the front panel. To support standard CompactPCI
rear IO, there is an optional rear IO module available, the CP-RIO3-42.
1.3.3 CP342-SFP
This version of the CP342 provides two SFP (small form-factor pluggable) cages at the front
panel for use with SPF transceivers (fiber optic or RJ45 type modules). In addition, there are
three operational status LEDs available for each channel.
1.3.4 Optional CP-RIO3-42 RIO Module for CP342-RIO
This optional module is designed for use with the CP342-RIO. It provides two rear IO Ethernet
channels with RJ45 interfacing (copper only)
Refer to Appendix A for further information on the CP-RIO3-42 module.
1.3.5 System Considerations
Within any given CompactPCI system there may be more than one CP342 board installed. The
mixing of different versions within a system is also permitted. Use of the CP342-RIO version
requires a backplane which supports rear IO. This may be a standard CPCI backplane with rear
IO slots or may be a customized backplane.
Note ...
This version of the CP342 is supplied only with SFP cages as receptacles for
SFP transceiver modules.
SFP transceiver modules are not a part of this product.
