The Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 jack connectors with LED indicators on the front side to show Active/ Link status and Speed status. The LED indicators on the right bottom corners glow a solid green color when the cable is properly connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. The LED indicator on the left bottom corner will flash on and off when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received. The LED indicators on the right bottom corners glow a solid orange color when the cable is properly connected to a 1000 Mbps Ethernet network. The LED indicator on the left bottom corner will flash on and off when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.

PONS vX

series is equipped with 4 IEEE 802.3at PoE+

ports for

transmitting power as much as 25.5W /

48V per port

and 1000BASE-T gigabit data signals

over standard Ethernet CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.

Every PoE port applies one Intel® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet controller and independent PCI express interface to connect with multi-core processor for network and data transmit optimization.

Only when PoE port starts to supply power to power devices , the dedicated LED will be light on.

Both mSATA and Mini PCI-E share the same formfactor and similar electrical pinout assignments on their connectors. There was no clear mechanism to distinguish if a mSATA drive or a Mini PCI-E device is plugged into the socket until recently that SATA-IO

issued an ECN change (ECN #045) to re-dene pin 43

on mSATA connector as “no connect” instead of “return current path” ( or GND).

When an mSATA drive is inserted, its pin 43 is “no connect”, and the respective pin on the socket is being pulled-up to logic 1. When a Mini PCI-E device is inserted, its pin 43 forces the respective pin on the socket to ground, or logic 0.

You may configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this

Appendix B 68

The GPIO& WDT are using internal Super IO function.

However, you must entry super I/O conguration mode to set

it. The output port is set as GPIO 1 on CN13 , reg. index = 0x60 The input port is set as GPIO 4 on CN12 , reg. index = 0x62.

Super I/O special address port = 0x2E

Super I/O special data port = 0x2F

GPIO Logical device is 0x07

//write twice 0x87 value.

outportb(Super I/O special address port, 0x87); outportb(Super I/O special address port, 0x01); outportb(Super I/O special address port, 0x55); outportb(Super I/O special address port, 0x55);

//write 0x07 on Reg [0x07] , this setup must follow Step A. that can be workable.

outportb(Super I/O special address port, 0x07); outportb(Super I/O special data port, 0x07);

Base control for write Super I/O register.

outportb(special address port, Register Index.); outportb(special data port, update_value);

Base control for read Super I/O register

outportb(special address port, Register Index.); inportb(special data port); //It will return a BYTE value.

Please refer to source code for set_data() and get_data() function.

Write data to GPO(output) port

set_data( Register Index , update_value);

example : unsigned char data = 0x82; set_data( 0xE5 , data); //Set bit 7 & bit 1 of GPO output port as High level ,another bit is Low

A. Entry MB PnP Mode

B. Located on Logical Device 7

C. Access the Super I/O Register

D. Access the PONS vX Series GPIO Port

ppendix B : GPIO & WDT Function

Appendix B

Please refer to source code for set_data() and get_data() function.

Read data to GPI(input) port

get_data( Register Index ) //It will return a BYTE value. example : unsigned char data get_data( 0xF1 , data); //Get GPI(input) port status on input_data variable.

Refer to GPIO setting of Step A and B. , located Logical 0x08 for WDT function.

Reg [0x30] is WatchDog ON/OFF control.

WatchDog On : set_data( 0x30 , 0x01); WatchDog Off : set_data( 0x30 , 0x00);

Reg [0xF0] is WatchDog timer - counterON/OFF control.

WatchDog counter start : set_data( 0xF0 , 0x02); WatchDog counter start : set_data( 0xF0 , 0x00);

Reg [0xF1] is WatchDog time-out value, "Reading" this register returns the current value in the Watch Dog Counter, not the Watch Dog Timer Time-out value.

WatchDog time-out value : set_data( 0xF1 , );

E.WDT ON/OFF and Timer-Counter setting
