1.11 LAN Subsystem (Optional)

The Network Interface Controller subsystem consists of the ICH2 (with integrated LAN Media
Access Controller) and a physical layer interface device. The LAN subsystem includes the
following features:
PCI Bus Master interface
CSMA/CD Protocol Engine
Serial CSMA/CD unit interface that supports the following physical layer interface devices:
82562ET onboard LAN
82562ET/EM (10/100 Mbit/sec Ethernet) on CNR bus
82562EH (1 Mbit/sec HomePNA
PCI Power Management
Supports ACPI technology
Supports wake-up from a suspend state using the PME# signal

1.11.1 Intel 82562ET PLC Device
The Intel 82562ET component provides an interface to the back panel RJ-45 connector with
integrated LEDs. This physical interface may alternately be provided through the CNR connector.
The Intel 82562ET provides the following functions:
Basic 10/100 Ethernet LAN connectivity
RJ-45 connector support with status indicator LEDs on the back panel
Full device driver compatibility
ACPI support
Programmable transit threshold
Configuration EEPROM that contains the MAC address
1.11.2 RJ-45 LAN Connector with Integrated LEDs
Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 LAN connector. Table 8 describes the LED states when the
board is powered up and the LAN subsystem is operating.
