Description
The National Instruments PXI-8211 Ethernet Interface, with a part number of 778228-01, falls within the PXI Interfaces category. This model is designed to facilitate seamless connectivity and integration into networking environments, supporting compatible network types of 10BaseT and 100BaseTX. It is powered by an Intel 82559 Fast Ethernet Controller, ensuring reliable and efficient network communication.
The device comes equipped with RJ-45 connectors, allowing for straightforward connection to network cables. It features LED indicators for speed (Green) and activity/link (Yellow), providing visual feedback on the interface’s status. The PXI-8211 is compatible with full duplex operations at speeds of 10 and 100 Mbits/s, enhancing its versatility in various network configurations.
Regarding its physical attributes, the interface measures 6.3 x 3.9 inches (16.0 x 9.9 cm), making it compact enough for easy installation in compatible systems, such as the RT Series PXI System. It utilizes PCI INTB for interrupts and requires a power supply of 1.7 W at +3.3 VDC.
To ensure full functionality, additional equipment is necessary for operation, including an external Ethernet hub or common LAN, an SMB-210 cable, a 1-meter SMB-200 cable, and two Ethernet cables. For those looking to expand its capabilities, an optional 1 kHz function generator is also compatible with the PXI-8211.
