2.4.8 Ethernet
The PPC-A84/A120 is equipped with a high performance 32-bit
Ethernet chipset which is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 100 Mbps
CSMA/CD standards. It is supported by major network operating
systems. It is also both 100Base-T and 10Base-T compatible. The
medium type can be configured via the RSET8139.EXE program
included on the utility disk.
The Ethernet port provides a standard RJ-45 jack. The network boot
feature can be utilized by incorporating the boot ROM image files for
the appropriate network operating system. The boot ROM BIOS files
are combined with system BIOS, which can be enabled/disabled in the
BIOS setup.
