Description
The XE–700 SBC provides a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port and supports the IEEE
802.3 Ethernet standard. The XE–700 SBC uses the Intel 82551ER Ethernet chip.
This chip is fully Plug-N-Play compatible.
The Ethernet controller IC chip provides the following:
8K x 16 SRAM buffer
Integrated 10/100 BaseT transceiver interface
Two LEDs for link and traffic status integrated into connector
The XE–700 SBC Ethernet uses twisted–pair wiring cable. The interface
terminates at the standard, 8–position, RJ–45 latching jack.
The Ethernet port uses IRQ11.
For more information on programming the Ethernet port, see the README file in
the \XE–700\ directory on the Octagon Products, Manuals, and Catalog CD, and
