Controller
The 82559 (or 82559ER) and ICH2+PHY is fully integrated 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN
solution. The 32-bit PCI controller provides enhanced scatter-gather bus mastering
capabilities and enables the 82559 to perform high-speed data transfers over the PCI bus.
Its bus master capabilities enable the component to process high level commands and
perform multiple operations, which lower CPU utilization by off-loading communication
tasks from the CPU.
The ECB-870 equips two LED indicators on the RJ-45 connector to indicate the LAN
interface status. These messages will provide you a guide for troubleshooting.
Green LED LAN Activity LED that indicates the data transfer activity.
