LAN Subsystem
The CC9-SAMBA is equipped with an 82541ER Gigabit Ethernet controller. The Intel 82541ER Gigabit
Ethernet PCI LAN subsystem provides also legacy 10Base-T and 100Base-TX connectivity. Features
include:
C
PCI bus mastering 32-bit, 33MHz
C
1000Base-Tx (Gigabit Ethernet), 100Base-TX (Fast Ethernet, half- or full-duplex) and 10Base-T
(Classic Ethernet) capability using a single RJ-45 connector
C
IEEE 802.3 Auto-Negotiation for the fastest available connection
C
Jumperless configuration (complete software-configurable)
Available as an option, the CC9-SAMBA can be equipped with the
82541PI Gigabit Ethernet controller,
which replaces the
82541ER. The 82541PI silicon supports in addition Virtual LANs by IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag insertion
and stripping and packet filtering for up to 4096 VLAN tags.
Two bicoloured display LEDs integrated into the RJ-45 connector signal the LAN link, the LAN
connection speed and activity status.
The NIC (Networking Interface Controller) resides on the local PCI bus. Its MAC address (unique
hardware number) is stored in an EEPROM. The Intel Ethernet software and drivers for the 82541ER
is available from Intel's World Wide Web site for download.
Please note that a secondary 10/100Mbps Ethernet port is available across the LCI (LAN connect
interface) expansion connector. A suitable mezzanine card with the 82562 LCI PHY is the CCB-
BOSSANOVA.
