Page 6: Introduction
Introduction This Installation Guide contains information about the installation and configuration of GE- 2032R Network Interface Card (NIC). GE-2032R is a 32-bit high-performance 10/100/1000BASE-T PCI bus adapter. It can be easily implemented in any PCI equipped PC and is fully compatible with 32-bit PCI bus master slot. -
Page 7: Auto-Negotiation Support
Introduction GE-2032R is a 32-bit PCI Gigabit Ethernet network interface card. It is designed for use on computers with 32-bit PCI bus slots. GE-2032R runs in bus master mode, directly sending/receiving Ethernet packets to/from memory. The PCI bus master device is an intelligent device that can conduct processing independent of the bus or other devices. -
