2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
This USB to Gigabit Ethernet adapter is a cost-effective solution that converts a USB
port into a 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet port. It enables a low-cost and affordable
Gigabit Ethernet network connection to desktop and notebook PCs and embedded
systems using popular USB ports: no need to purchase an expensive Gigabit network
interface card or use a PCI or Card bus slot — just plug into an available USB port on a
desktop or laptop PC running Windows 7/2003/XP/Vista or Linux/Mac.
Installation and operation are further simplified by living up to USB's Plug and Play
installation approach to connecting computer peripherals. You will not need to open the
case of your computer, nor will you be required to set IRQs. It also supports full and half
duplex mode to achieve the best speeds for each attached device, and hot-swap
capability provides the simplest way to connect your computer to an Ethernet-based
network.
