2.3.14. Ethernet LAN
The COMe-bTL6 supports one 1 GbE/2.5 GbE Base-T Ethernet interface using the Intel® i225-LM Ethernet controller
for commercial temperature grades and the Intel®I225-IT for industrial temperature grades (E2).
Modules variants with the Intel® Xeon® processor and RM590E PCH support an optional Ethernet port that
implements SERDES signals directly to the COMe connector and supports TSN and WOL.

Option for processor variants Intel® Xeon® with RM590E PCH only.
For 2.5 GbE Ethernet port speed, ensure the use of a compatible connector.
It is not recommended to use an integrated RJ45 connector module with the center tap
shorted together with all the 4 pairs at the center-tap transformer. This increases the
common mode noise and may create EMI. If this type of Integrated Connector module (ICM)
is chosen, it is recommended to add in a discrete common choke in series to each PHY MDI
differential line pairs.
