37 The ENDAT-7100M System Board
Automatic Selection of the Media Type
While the driver installs, it automatically detects the media type based on the
type of cable connected. Once you change the cable type, you must reinstall the
driver to execute auto-detect again.
If the driver cannot detect which cable is connected or whether a cable is
connected, look at cabling network driver (Ex. Modify net.cfg file
parameters—force line speed=10 or 100).
10/100 Auto – Negotiation (N-Way)
Depending on the hub or connected device, the LAN adapter can automatically
run at the appropriate speed, by using N-way, a feature that complies with the
IEEE802.3 standard. It also works with any of the other IEEE-compliant
products.
5-6. Remote BOOT ROM function
This function is available with the BIOS programming for indicated operation
system. The remote boot function allows the computer to boot up over the
network, instead of using the local operating system device. This enables the
system to be a diskless workstation environment.
5-7. LED Indicators
The system board comes with two LED indicators on the edge of the
motherboard that indicates the network system status. If you experience any
problems with the adapter, first make sure the appropriate driver is loaded, the
proper cable is connected to the RJ-45 port and the hub complies with the
adapter specification, such as 10Mbps 10Base-T or 100Mbps 100Bast-TX.
Finally, recheck the LEDs.
FUDUP (Full Duplex) Indicator
When indicator is ON, it indicates Full-duplex mode: otherwise, it is OFF. The
adapter supports full duplex at 10 or 100Mbps. If the switch-hub supports the
N-way feature and full duplex, the system will automatically runs in full duplex
mode.
Tx/Rx (Transmit/Receiver) Indicator
This indicator flashes to display that there is network activity – indicating
transmission or reception data from the network.
