Arduino W5100 Ethernet Shield

  • There is on-board voltage regulation, so you can use 5-12V VCC input. The signal pins support both 3.3V and 5V levels.

The function of the LEDs

PWR:indicates that the module is powered
LINK:indicates the presence of a network link and flashes when the shield transmits or receives data
FDX:indicates that the network connection is full duplex
SPD:indicates the presence of a 100 Mb/s network connection (as opposed to 10 Mb/s)
RX:flashes when the shield receives data
TX:flashes when the shield sends data
COL:flashes when network collisions are detected
