Module

Several devices such as computers or notebooks are connected to each other in a network via a network module or network card. In most cases, current devices support Ethernet connection. The network module is responsible for enabling several devices to communicate with each other within a network. The network card is also capable of reloading the operating system within the network or rebooting the computers in the network. Network modules are available in various designs. These include integrated network modules that are installed directly in the computer, in routers or in other end devices, PCI and PCIe network modules, PCMCIA network adapters, USB network modules or even a Fibre Channel (FC) card.
