Ethernet Transceivers
The Marvell 88E1111 gigabit Ethernet transceivers are used to interface between the pro-
cessor MACs and the Ethernet switch ports. They are also used to connect two switch ports
to the backplane base channel 1 and 2 interfaces. The 88E1111 device is
10/100/1000BASE-T IEEE 802.3 compliant.
The Broadcom BCM5241 10/100BASE-TX/FX transceiver provides a physical interface to
the processor’s debug Ethernet MAC (eTSEC1). The BCM5241 complies with the IEEE 802.3
standard.
ETHERNET ADDRESS FOR THE KAT4000
The Ethernet address for your board is a unique identifier on a network and must not be
altered. The address consists of 48 bits (Medium Access Control—MAC [47:0]) divided into
two equal parts. The upper 24 bits define a unique identifier that has been assigned to Arte-
syn Communication Products by IEEE. The lower 24 bits are defined by Artesyn for identifi-
cation of each of our products.
The Ethernet address for the KAT4000 is a binary number referenced as 12 hexadecimal
digits separated into pairs, with each pair representing eight bits. The address assigned to
the KAT4000 has the following form:
00 80 F9 xx yy zz
00 80 F9 is Artesyn’s identifier. The last three bytes of the Ethernet address comprise the
data for the Ethernet addresses in non-volatile memory (NVRAM). The KAT4000 has been
assigned the Ethernet address range 00:80:F9:92:00:00 to 00:80:F9:95:FF:FF. The format is
shown in
Tab le 4 - 4.
