It is made up of servers, workstations, a network operating system, and a communications link. Ethernet Ethernet is the most widely-used LAN access method, which is defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard. Ethernet is normally a shared media LAN. All stations on the segment share the total bandwidth, which is 10 Mbps (Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), or 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). With switched Ethernet, each sender and receiver pair has the full bandwidth. 2 PCMCIA Fast Ethernet card user's manual Fast Ethernet Also called 100BaseT, it is a high-speed version of Ethernet (IEEE 802.3u standard). 100BaseT transmits at 100 Mbps rather than 10 Mbps. Like regular Ethernet, Fast Ethernet is a shared media LAN. All nodes share the 100 Mbps bandwidth. 100BaseT uses the same CSMA/CD access method as regular Ethernet with some modification. Three cabling variations are provided. 100BaseTX uses two pairs of Category 5 UTP, 100BaseT4 uses four pairs of Category 3, and 100BaseFX uses multi-mode optical fibers and is primarily intended for backbone use. This concludes the first chapter. The next chapter deals with the hardware installation of the Ethernet card. 3 PCMCIA Fast Ethernet card user's manual Chapter 2 Hardware installation (for Dongle-less PC Card) This section covers inserting your Ethernet card in the notebook's PCMCIA slot, and connecting the card to a network.

System Requirements Hardware Requirements Software Requirements Notebook equipped with Type II PC Card slot and PC Card controller (compliant Rev. 2.1 or higher The Card & Socket service drivers should comply with PCMCIA Release 2.1 or higher Driver installation You must install the Ethernet Card drivers before your computer system can recognize your Ethernet Card. The following sections cover client driver installation. Driver installation program INSTALL is the Ethernet Card driver installation program. The INSTALL program automatically selects the most suitable option settings, or you can perform a custom configuration where you individually select each setting. 36 PCMCIA Fast Ethernet card user's manual Quick installation This section gives a brief overview of the installation process. 1. Card and Socket Services software should be bundled with your computer; if it is not, contact your dealer. It is recommended that you use this software when installing your Ethernet Card. A system with Card and Socket Services installed allows the PCMCIA card to automatically configure itself. While the system is on, available system resources and insertion or removal of the card will automatically be detected. 2. Run the INSTALL.EXE program found on your driver disc. The install program guides you through the installation process and will install the network drivers needed to run the card on your network operating system. If you successfully completed the installation, go to step 5. If installation was unsuccessful, then go to the next step. 3. If you are using Card and Socket Services, select autoconfiguration. The install program will prompt Card and Socket Services to assign an available hardware resource configuration. 4. If you do not have Card and Socket Services or if your card does not work with your version of Card and Socket Services, the enabler program can communicate directly with the PCMCIA controller on your system. However, you must select hardware resource settings that are not being used by other devices; otherwise, your PC system may have device conflicts. 37 PCMCIA Fast Ethernet card user's manual 5. Insert the Ethernet Card into the PCMCIA socket. Then attach the network cable to the card. 6. Restart your computer and connect to your network.
