Tekelec 850-2031 IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Controller

The Tekelec 850-2031 IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Controller is a plug-in PCB module that provides IEEE 802.3 Ethernet connectivity for Tekelec carrier‑class systems, enabling Ethernet-based system administration and network communications between the platform and external management networks. Manufactured by Tekelec (Oracle Communications) with MPN 850-2031, this IEEE 802.3 Compliant Ethernet Controller functions as an Ethernet LAN Controller on a carrier‑class telecommunications circuit board and is installed as a plug-in module to support network interfaces and communications management. Platform compatibility covers Tekelec EAGLE Carrier‑Class Signaling System (configuration dependent). Its typical applications include SS7 signaling transfer points (STPs), telecommunications switching systems, network management platforms, carrier Ethernet infrastructure, central offices, broadband systems, and service provider networks requiring reliable Ethernet connectivity for monitoring, configuration, and network administration. Target users include maintenance teams, telecommunications operators, and system integrators who replace failed network interface hardware or perform platform upgrades on legacy Tekelec equipment. Common replacements include Tekelec 850-2032, 850-0144 LIC286, and 870-1484-01. This is legacy / discontinued carrier-class telecommunications hardware.
