## Overview

Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LANs) and metropolitan area networks (MANs). It was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3, and has since been refined to support higher bit rates and longer link distances.\

## SolidPCs Ethernet Ports

The SolidPC got two Ethernet Ports. One NIC is integrated into the MicroSom (#1) one has an external NIC (#2) which is located on the carrierboard. The first NIC (#1) is programmed to be always on and offers the option to be used for wake on lan (wol) and power over ethernet (poe).\
Bot NICs are Realtek RTL8111 (100/1000mbit) and have external magnetics (ATPL-453R, DUAL 100/1000 BASE-TX PoE LAN MAGNETIC).

* For further information please have a look at the schematics: [Intel Braswell IBx Documents](/intel/braswell/sbc-platform/solidpc-q4.md)

## Power over Ethernet Option (POE)

The SolidPC offers you the option to use a PoE module – which is not assembled!

On the SolidPC you can find the pinouts for assembling a Power over Ethernet module. Some customers successfully used the Silvertel AG5300 Module.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dev.solid-run.com/intel/braswell/sbc-platform/solidpc-ethernet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
