Features
The key features of the GA302T Copper Gigabit Adapter are:
• Full-duplex operation (2,000 Mbps: 1,000 Mbps each way) with DMA (Direct
Memory Access) Gigabit Ethernet interface (IEEE 802.3ab)
• RJ-45 connector for Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable
• Interoperability with existing Fast Ethernet equipment compliance with the
following standards and protocols:
– IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet
– IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet
– IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
– IEEE 802.3u Auto Negotiation
• Standard Ethernet frame size (up to 1,518 bytes)
• 33/66 MHz, 32/64-bit PCI bus master (Local Bus Revision 2.2 compliant)
with adaptive DMA channels
• Two independent DMA channels for simultaneous read and write operations;
as a bus master, the network card requests access to the PCI bus instead of
waiting to be polled
• Software driver support for Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows
98 and Windows NT 4.0.
• Universal dual-voltage signaling (3.3 V and 5 V)
