PCM-5823-G0A2 (ADVANTECH)

Advantech’s PCM-5823 NS Geode Series is a 3.5" SBC which offers an onboard NS Geode GX1-300 processor or GXLV-200 processor, plus support for dual ethernet for network functions such as Firewall, Network monitoring, Router or Gateway functions. Other onboard features include VGA/LCD, a Compact- Flash™ card socket, and watchdog timer. With the 586-level NS Geode processor mounted directly on board, upgrade and system configuration is much more convenient as is the benefits of fanless operation in temperatures up to 60° C (140° F). This board is a feature-packed, 586-level, hassle-free solution for space critical applications. The flexible, dual Ethernet capability of the PCM-5823 gives network administrators another tool to deal with today's changing application needs. The board comes with the top-of-the-line Intel 82559ER LAN chips or cost-effective RTL 8139C LAN chips, depending on users needs. Used as a DMZ device, the PCM-5823 could act as a firewall that sits between the internet and a company's internal network. This applies to Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers or DNS servers. The PCM-5823 can also be used as an internet-network gateway (router) that connects a number of local networks. Once again, the dual ethernet capability and processing power of the PCM-5823 gives it the ability to perform these functions. The compact size, low power consumption and fanless operation also allow it to be used "exactly" where you need it as well. The PCM-5823 Series complies with the "Green Function" standard and supports three types of power saving features: Normal, Doze, and Sleep modes. The display type configuration is done through software. A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS and the VGA BIOS. This minimizes the number of chips and eases configuration. You can change the display BIOS simply by programming the Flash chip. If you need any additional functions, the PCM-5820 Series has a PC/104 connector for future upgrades.
