6.1 Introduction
The A831 Motherboard is equipped with the Realtek RTL8100CL-LF LOM Ethernet
controller combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access Controller
(MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, 32-bit PCI bus controller, and
embedded memory. With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal
technology, it offers high-speed transmission over CAT 5 UTP or CAT 3 UTP
(10Mbps only) cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction,
polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation,
timing recovery, and error correction are implemented to provide robust transmission
and reception capability at high speeds.
The Ethernet port provides an On-board standard RJ-45 connector. The device
supports the PCI 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface supports for host communications
with power management, and is compliant with the IEEE 802.3 specification for
10/100Mbps.
