NIC Addresses AFDX/ARINC 664

The CNIC takes a bow as the industry's first low cost, 10/100 Ethernet network interface card (NIC) to support AFDX/ARINC 664 and real-time Ethernet/IP/UDP protocols. In terms of cost reductions, the module is also said to be the first to offer advanced NIC technology for testing and simulating AFDX/ARINC 664 networks. Features include two independent ports for traffic monitoring, traffic generation, external triggering, and analysis, and high-resolution time tagging of incoming Ethernet frames simultaneously with accurate traffic generation. An IRIG-B receiver/generator is also included for synchronization to an external IRIG-B time source and for synchronization between multiple CNIC boards. CONDOR ENGINEERING, Santa Barbara, CA.
