PCA-6184 ed. 1 User’s Manual 54
Chapter 6 LAN Configuration
6.1 Introduction
The PCA-6184 features single or dual 32-bit 10/100 Mbps Ethernet net-
work interface. This interface supports bus mastering architecture and
auto-negotiation features. Therefore standard twisted-pair cabling with
RJ-45 connectors for both 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps connections can be used.
Extensive driver support for commonly-used network systems is also pro-
vided.
6.2 Features
• Dual Intel® 82559 Ethernet LAN controller (fully integrated 10Base-T/
100Base-TX)
• Supports Wake-on-LAN remote control function
• PCI Bus Master complies with PCI Rev. 2.2
• MAC & PHY (10/100 Mbps) interfaces
• Complies to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T interfaces.
• Fully supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX operation
• Single RJ-45 connector gives auto-detection of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
network data transfer rates and connected cable types
• 32-bit Bus Master technology complies with PCI Rev. 2.1 Plug and
Play
6.3 Driver Installation
The PCA-6184's onboard Ethernet interface supports all major network
operating systems.
The BIOS automatically detects the LAN while booting, and assigns an
IRQ level and I/O address. No jumpers or switches are required for user
configuration.
Note: Operating system vendors may post driver
updates on their websites. Please visit the web-
sites of OS vendors to download updated driv-
ers.
