Telum NPA-38x4 is a cost-effective, intelligent
high-performance Packet Processor AdvancedMC designed for secure access applications in Telecom environments. This AdvancedMC has a high-end state-of-the-art 12-core Cavium Octeon CN3850-SCP Secure Communications Processor
and 512 MB of high speed DDR2 memory allowing it to enable a wide variety of applications.
To optimize application performance, the CN3850-SCP supports dual-issue, five-stage pipeline and optimized latencies as well as auto instruction pre-fetching and advanced data prefetching features to minimize memory delays.
High-speed communications are enabled by four lanes of GbE (AMC.2 Type 4) to the Fat Pipes Region of the AdvancedMC connector. For control purposes, two lanes of GbE to AMC ports 0 and 1 in the Common Options Region are provided.
Telum NP-38x4 is a single-width, full-size form factor module. It supports multiple configuration options including:
- 4 front panel GbE ports supporting IEEE 1000BaseT or 1000BaseSX via Small Form factor Pluggable (SFP) tranceivers, or
- 4 ports of GbE to the AdvancedMC connector for Rear Transition Module (RTM) support.
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) & Hot Swap compliance
An AMC.0 Module Management Controller (MMC) subsystem that is IPMI v1.5 compliant initializes board level parameters, monitors board voltage and temperature conditions, maintains system status, and manages hot swap operation for high availability applications. A microcontroller is used as the IPMI intelligence and connects to the AdvancedMC management bus. This module is hot swap capable and is field replaceable in accordance with AMC.0.
Software
To simplify system integration, the Telum NPA-38x4 employs a comprehensive set of software drivers that supports Carrier Grade Linux operating systems on the CN3850-SCP core.
