Chapter 10: Ethernet
Description
The XE–900 SBC provides a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port and supports the IEEE
802.3 Ethernet standard. The XE–900 SBC uses the Intel 82551ER Ethernet chip.
This chip is fully Plug-N-Play compatible.
The Ethernet controller IC chip provides the following:
8K x 16 SRAM buffer
Integrated 10/100 BaseT transceiver interface
Two LEDs for link and traffic status integrated into connector
The XE–900 SBC Ethernet uses twisted–pair wiring cable. The interface
terminates at the standard, 8–position, RJ–45 latching jack.
CAUTION
Use a strain relief loop when connecting to the XE–900 SBC Ethernet
connector to avoid damaging the connector.
The Ethernet port uses IRQ11.
For more information on programming the Ethernet port, see the README file in
the Ethernet directory of the XE–900 utilities. See page 118 for downloading the
utilities.
