Chapter 5. LAN Adapter
The on-board LAN adapter use of Single Chip Fast Ethernet Controller, that is highly
integrated and requires no “glue” logic external memory on board. It runs in the bus master
mode and directly sending/receiving Ethernet packet to/from memory. The On-board LAN
adapter can directly fetch the system CPU. Also, it can transfer data Directly between I/O
devices and system memory in the 32-bit bus master mode that provides low CPU utilization.
It complies with the IEEE 802.3u standard, IEEE802.3 standard and PCI Local Bus version
2.1 and transmits data on the network at 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps. It also operates in full-duplex
mode that
doubles the network speed up to 20/200 Mbps when working with Fast
Switching Hub. Built-in one RJ-45 port for connection of 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet or
10Base-T Ethernet network, and automatically senses the connection type.
