Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Overview of the product
TG-3269 is a highly integrated and cost-effective single-chip Gigabit Ethernet Adapter that
provides 32-bit performance, PCI bus master capability, and full compliance with IEEE 802.3
10Base-T, IEEE802.3u 100Base-TX and IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T specifications. It also
supports ACPI, PCI power management for modern operating systems that are capable of
Operating System Directed Power Management (OSPM) to achieve the most efficient power
management.
Through the aid of a VLAN membership, TG-3269 adheres to the 802.1Q for multiple VLAN
support, and 802.1P for packet prioritization. With 802.1Q support, server resources can be
shared with multiple VLANs when used in conjunction with any 802.1Q-enabled Switch. With the
802.1p support, TG-3269 allows a range of Ethernet packets to be prioritized from a critical to a
non-critical designation through a priority tag.
TG-3269 supports Full Duplex operations at 10/100/1000 Mbps data speeds used in conjunction
with 802.3x flow control support. With 802.3x flow control TG-3269 uses both asymmetric and
symmetric functions via the MAC control pause function. Any participating 802.3x flow control
node can be controlled by initiating a pause control to stop incoming network traffic, to further
reduce network congestion.
By default TG-3269 supports the standard 1518 Byte frame size. In addition, TG-3269 can also be
configured to use a maximum Jumbo Frame size of up to 7680 Bytes.
It includes an interface for a boot ROM and can be used in diskless workstations, providing
maximum network security and ease of management.
Also, being PCI 2.2 and 2.3 compliant, TG-3269 works with 32-bit 33/66MHz PCI busses. This
compatibility provides users with an easy migration path to increase performance between
servers and workstations for large file transfer, video editing and server clustering for data
intensive applications.
