interrupt for multiple, back-to-back incoming packets, preserving host CPU 
cycles. 

The PCI interface on the ITI-5100G/GF adapter contains two independent 
DMA channels for simultaneous read and write operations. 

The core control for the ITI-5100G/GF adapter resides in a tightly integrated, 
high-performance ASIC. The ASIC includes dual RISC processors. This 
provides the flexibility to add new features to the card and adapt it to future 
network requirements via software download. This also enables the adapter 
drivers to exploit the built-in host off-load functions on the adapter as host 
operating systems are enhanced to take advantage of these functions. 

An ITI-5100G/GF adapter RISC CPU runs on-board diagnostics at power-up. 

The faceplate of the ITI-5100GF adapter has one 1000Base-SX fiber-optic 
connector for connecting the adapter to a Gigabit Ethernet segment. There are 
also two LEDs: one to indicate link status and one for data transfer status. 

Once the adapter hardware and its driver software have been properly 
installed on your system, the LEDs will signal the following adapter states:
