Ethernet History DIX Ethernet (1970s) Fast Ethernet (1995) Gigabit Ethernet (1998)
Gigabit Technology “Fibre Channel” Multi-mode transmission Fiber and copper based networks
Purpose Successfully construct a test-bed to perform experiments and determine methods to implement Gigabit Ethernet technology at an affordable cost for the general consumer.
Evaluation Board • HFBR 53D5 • Differential I/O
First Step • Testing the fiber-optic transceivers • What parts do we have • What parts do we need to order
Challenges • Soldering and unsoldering • Proper line termination • Grounding • Board Quality • Getting parts on time
So Far • Tested modules • Unsoldered old modules • Found parts to order
