This introduction gives a general description of the newer networking technologies found on the DMC-700SC. Fast Ethernet Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802. 3u. It extends the traditional 10Mbps Ethernet technology to achieve 100Mbps transmission and reception, while retaining the same CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Thus while Fast Ethernet provides a tenfold increase in network capacity, it is wholly compatible with traditional 10Mbps Ethernet network facilities Auto-Negotiation Auto-negotiation is an IEEE 802. 3-specified procedure for negotiating the highest data flow capability between the device (in this case, our Adapter) and its link partner (some other device). The maximum length of any single cable run between any station and its supporting hub is 100 meters. The maximum length of a cable joining two hubs is 10m in general, but is 100m when both hubs qualify as Ethernet Class 2 Repeaters (all D-Link Ethernet hubs do qualify). However, these cable runs may need to be shorter than the given individual maximum lengths, because their lengths are globally restricted by the rule that the maximum aggregated cable run between any two stations is 205m. Connecting for Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) Category 5 UTP cable is required for Fast Ethernet operation. The maximum cable run between the DFE530TX and the supporting hub is 100m. The cable must be straight (not a crossover cable), with an RJ-45 6 10/100 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Card plug at each end. Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer and run the tests again. If the verification/diagnostic run is then normal, then there is probably an interrupt number conflict that will have to be resolved manually by a CMOS Setup utility run after you have reinstalled all of the expansion cards. The DMC-700SC Adapter features two LED indicators to assist in the resolving of network diagnostics: · LINK/ACT Indicator A steady green LED indicates that the card is receiving power and there is a good link between the DMC-700SC and the device it is connected to. The LED will flash when the adapter is sending or receiving data. · Speed Indicator This LED shows steady green (ON) when operating at 100Mbps. It is dark (OFF) when connected at 10Mbps. 8 10/100 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Card B Specifications Network Type: · · Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX IEEE 802. 3u standard for 100Mbps baseband CSMA/CD local area network Ethernet 10BASE-T IEEE 802. 3 standard for 10Mbps baseband CSMA/CD local area network Jumperless Hardware Auto-negotiation functionality Media interface: RJ-45 EMI Compatibility: FCC Class B/VCCI Class B/CE Class B C-Tick/BSMI Class B Host interface: PCI 2. 2 Bus (Bus Master) I/O & IRQ base address: Assigned by Plug and Play system Physical Dimensions: 120. 17 mm x 50. 02 mm Environment: Storage: -25° to 55°C, (-13° to 131° F) Operating: 0° to 40° C, (32° to 104° F) Humidity: 10% to 90% non-condensing Power Consumption: 0. 8W max PCB Layer: 2 layers Software drivers for: Microsoft Windows 95/95 OSR2/ 98/98 SE/2000/Me/XP Microsoft Windows NT 3. 51 & 4. 0 Novell Netware Client for DOS Novell Netware Server 3. x, 4. x, 5. x, 6. x NCSA PCNFS IBM LAN Support Program v1. 3x MSCLIENT Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3. 11 Linux Novell NetWare Client 32 for DOS FTP PC/TCP PDIPX Winsock LANTASTI Check http://www. dlink. com for drivers not listed and latest release of drivers. 9 Offices Australia D-Link Australasia 1 Giffnock Avenue, North Ryde, NSW 2113, Sydney, Australia TEL: 61-2-8899-1800 FAX: 61-2-8899-1868 TOLL FREE (Australia): 1800-177100 TOLL FREE (New Zealand): 0800-900900 URL: www. dlink. com. au E-MAIL: support@dlink. com. au & info@dlink. com. au Level 1, 434 St. [. . . ] What network operating system(s) does your organization use ?D-Link LANsmart Novell NetWare NetWare Lite SCO Unix/Xenix PC NFS 3Com 3+Open Banyan Vines DECnet Pathwork Other______________ Novell NMS Windows NT Windows NTAS Windows '95 5.
