Ethernet Connectors
The KTQ45 boards supports 2 channels of 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet one based on Intel® Boazman-LM
WG82567LM Gigabit PHY with AMT 5.0 support (ETHER1) and the other based on Intel® Hartwell 82574L
PCI Express controller (ETHER2).
In order to achieve the specified performance of the Ethernet port, Category 5 twisted pair cables must be
used with 10/100MB and Category 5E, 6 or 6E with 1Gb LAN networks.
The signals for the Ethernet ports are as follows:
Signal
Description
MDI[0]+ / MDI[0]-
In MDI mode, this is the first pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DA+/- pair, and is the
transmit pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DB+/- pair, and is the receive pair
in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
MDI[1]+ / MDI[1]-
In MDI mode, this is the second pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DB+/- pair, and is
the receive pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DA+/- pair, and is the transmit
pair in 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
MDI[2]+ / MDI[2]-
In MDI mode, this is the third pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DC+/- pair.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DD+/- pair.
MDI[3]+ / MDI[3]-
In MDI mode, this is the fourth pair in 1000Base-T, i.e. the BI_DD+/- pair.
In MDI crossover mode, this pair acts as the BI_DC+/- pair.
Note: MDI = Media Dependent Interface.
