Indlela yokufinyelela nokulawula amadivaysi ekhompyutha ahlukene ngokusebenzisa imidiya ku-LAN iqondwa kanje.
Kudala, i-Ethernet yayisetshenziswa ukuxhuma yonke imigqa yamakhompyutha asekhaya ebhasini ukuze kubonakale ukuxhumana kwamakhompyutha. Uma usebenzisa le ndlela ukuthumela idatha, udinga ukucacisa ikheli eliqondiwe. Uma uthola uhlaka lwedatha, uzoqale uluqhathanise nekheli le-adaptha yakho (ngezansi). Uma ifana, uzodlulisa idatha futhi uyigcine. Uma ihlukile, uzoyilahla.
Izindlela ezingenhla ziyinkimbinkimbi. Ukwenza ukuxhumana kube lula, i-Ethernet isebenzisa:
(1) . Imodi yokusebenza engaxhumeki: ingaxhumana ngokuqondile futhi ithumele idatha efanele ngaphandle kokudinga ukuthi omunye umuntu ayithumele ukuze iqinisekiswe.
(2) Ngokusebenzisa ifomu lokufaka ikhodi lase-Manchester, uphawu ngalunye luhlukaniswe izikhawu ezimbili ezilinganayo.
I-CSMA/CD ivamise ukusetshenziswa ku-LAN yebhasi kanye namanethiwekhi ezihlahla. Izici: ukufinyelela amaphuzu amaningi; Ukuqapha inkampani yenethiwekhi (isiteshi sokubona isiteshi ngasinye siyeke ukulalela); Ukutholwa kokushayisana (ukuthumelela uhlangothi ekuqashweni)
Ibhasi lamathokheni livame ukusetshenziswa ku-LAN yohlobo lwebhasi kanye namanethiwekhi ohlobo lwesihlahla. Yakha indandatho enengqondo ngokuhlela iziteshi zokusebenza kunethiwekhi yohlobo lwebhasi noma uhlobo lwesihlahla ngokulandelana okuthile, njengosayizi wekheli lesixhumi esibonakalayo. Umnikazi wamathokheni kuphela ongalawula ibhasi futhi abe nelungelo lokuthumela ulwazi.
Indandatho yethokheni isetshenziselwa i-LAN yokukhala, njengenethiwekhi yokukhala kwamathokheni
Okungenhla incazelo yolwazi ye-LAN Media Access Control Method elethwa u-Shenzhen Haidiwei Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., umkhiqizi wemishini yokuxhumana ebonakalayo.
