2PCM-5823 User's Manual
1.1 Introduction
Advantech’s new 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 compa-
ny'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.
