Regulatory compliance

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for

a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This

equipment also complies with CE EN55022 Class B and VCCI V3 Class

B specifications. These limits are designed to provide reasonable pro-

tection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of

this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interferen-

ce in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at

his own expense.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the parties respon-

sible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the

equipment.

Technology overview

LAN

LAN (Local Area Network) is a communications network that

serves users within a confined geographical area. It is made up of

servers, workstations, a network operating system, and a communi-

cations link.

Ethernet

Ethernet is the most widely-used LAN access method, which is de-

fined 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.

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 modifica-

tion. 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 in-

tended for backbone use.

This concludes the first chapter. The next chapter deals with the

hardware installation of the Ethernet card.

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.

What’s in the package

Please ensure that the following items are included in your package.

If any items are missing, contact your dealer.

•PCMCIA 10/100Mbps Ethernet card

•CD-ROM (includes device drivers and this user’s manual)

•Quick Installation Guide

•Hard Case

Hardware description

The Ethernet card is encased in a stainless compact frame and has a

68-pin connector for attaching to the notebook’s PCMCIA slot, and

an RJ-45 connector for use with 10BaseT Ethernet or 100BaseTx

Fast Ethernet networks.
