5.2 Ethernet Module (AXM-NET)
5.2.1 Introduction to Ethernet
Ethernet was originally developed by Xerox and then developed further by
Xerox, DEC, and Intel. Ethernet uses a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol, and provides transmission speeds up
to 10 Mbps.
Now Ethernet stands for LAN with CSMA/CD protocol.
Ethernet is the most current communication standard in LAN. This standard
denes the used type of cable and the method of Signal processing in LAN.
