PCM-5823 Manual

The PCM-5823 NS Geode Series is a 3.5" SBC which offers an onboard NS Geode GX1 300 MHz processor or GX1-233 MHz processor, plus support for dual ethernet for network functions such as Firewall, Router or Gateway functions. Other onboard features include VGA/LCD, a CompactFlash™ 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® 82559E 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 allow it to be used "exactly" where you need it as well.
