Features 

 

One port with automatic MDI/MDI-X switching, enabling the card to be connected quickly 
to a switch or another computer. 

 

Jumbo Frames support to ensure high performance in new applications which require 
large frame transfers (graphics and video editing applications). 

 

Auto-negotiation: speed (1000/100/10 Mbps) and full duplex/half duplex. 

 

Support for back-pressure (half-duplex) and IEEE802.3x (duplex) flow control to prevent 
errors when transmitting and receiving data at different speeds. 

 

Status LEDs for quick network operation diagnostics. 

 

Full duplex support to double the effective network bandwidth.
