CHAPTER 1

Hardware Installation

Introduction

The PRO/100 PC Card is the ideal high-speed, multifunction solution for

portable PC users. It supports 10 and 100Mbps Ethernet networks and

modem speeds up to 56Kbps for high-performance connectivity in any

environment. The PRO/100 PC Card plugs into your computers Type II

PC Card slot for simultaneous connection to an Ethernet LAN and the

telephone network.

56K Technology

The PRO/100 PC Card uses K56flex* modem technology to reach speeds

up to 56Kbps. K56flex Technology enables notebook users to access

information and E-mail on corporate networks, the Internet and other

online services at speeds up to 56Kbps over standard phone lines.

These higher speeds are achieved by avoiding conversion from digital to

analog lines in the connection between the user and service provider.

Ordinary connections begin over an analog line, are converted to digital

by the phone company and are converted back to analog in the final

segment before arriving at the service provider. In order to achieve 56K

connections, there can only be one digital to analog conversion. This

requires the service provider to have a direct digital connection and

therefore, avoids one conversion of the signal. By avoiding this conver-

sion, data download speeds up to 56K are possible. Data sent upstream by

the user travels at the standard V.34 rate. Also, the modems at both ends

of the call must be compatible to achieve speeds up to 56K. If the

modems at both ends of the call are not compatible, they will negotiate a

standard V.34 connection.

1-2 PRO/100 LAN+Modem PC Card User’s Guide

With K56flex technology, current country-specific regulations may limit

download speeds. Additional factors such as phone line conditions, can

affect the performance of the PRO/100 PC Card. You can find more

detailed technical information on K56flex performance on Intel's support

web site, support.intel.com.

Model

MBLA1656 Combination card that provides access to

10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks and

modem speeds up to 56Kbps. An Ethernet

Adapter Cable (RJ-45) and Modem Cable

(RJ-11) are supplied. It provides access to

both 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks with a

single Ethernet Adapter Cable, and auto-

senses 10Mbps or 100Mbps network speed.

Requires Category 5 (data grade)

unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling

for 100Mbps network connections.

Software Supplied

Intel drivers and other software are supplied on 3.5-inch 1.44 megabyte

disks. All popular network operating systems, including NetWare, Win-

dows 95, Windows NT, Windows 3.x, and Windows for Workgroups are

supported.

An easy-to-use Installation Program for Windows 3.x is provided on the

Intel Installation Disk, which includes the country identifier utility for local

modem settings.

Additional Features

The PRO/100 PC Card is a Type II PC Card conforming to the Personal

Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) PC Card

Standard. It supports HotSwap, suspend/resume power management, full-

duplex transmission at 10Mbps, and Advanced Look-Ahead Pipelining.

Hardware Installation 1-3

HotSwap

This card supports HotSwap on a PC Card computer that is running

Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 3.x/MS-DOS using Card and Socket

Services. This feature allows the PRO/100 PC Card to be removed from

the computer, temporarily replaced with another type of PC card, then

reinserted without loss of the local area network connection.

Power Management Suspend/Resume

Power management features such as suspend/resume are supported by the

PRO/100 PC Card on PCMCIA systems running Windows 95 or Win-

dows NT, or Windows 3.x/MS-DOS using Card and Socket Services. This

means that when the computer enters a reduced power or power saving

mode, an ongoing local area network connection will remain active for the

period of time allowed by the network operating system

Hardware Installation

Note

Hardware installation requirements may vary with different

operating systems. For example, if your system is configured for

automatic detection of the card (for example, under Windows

95), the computer should be ON and standard operating

software loaded when the card is inserted. For installation

instructions specific to your particular environment, see the

appropriate chapter: Chapter 2. Installation with Windows 95,

Chapter 3. Installation with Windows NT, and Chapter 4.

Installation with Windows 3.x/MS-DOS.

The PRO/100 PC Card is compatible with Type II PC Card slots. The

hardware installation procedures outlined here are typical. Installation and

removal procedures vary on different PC Card-capable computers and

under different operating systems.

Unpacking and Inspection

After opening the PRO/100 PC Card box, verify that all parts are included

and have not been damaged during transportation. Retain the packing

materials.

Other Required Equipment

1For LAN operations: a local area network supporting 10 or

100Mbps Ethernet, as required, and a network operating system

supported by the PRO/100 PC Card.

Note

Since the PRO/100 PC Card automatically detects the speed of

the network to which it is connected, it may be safely connected

to either a 100Base-TX or 10Base-T network, as specified in

items 2 and 3 below.

2For connection to a 100Base-TX Ethernet network, a Category 5

(data grade) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable terminat-

ing in a male RJ-45 connector and connected to a 100Mbps hub or

switch.

3For connection to a 10Base-T Ethernet network, a network cable

terminating in a male RJ-45 connector and connected to a 10Mbps

hub or switch.

Hardware Installation 1-5

4For modem operations: an analog telephone line or PABX

connection (RJ-11), and if needed, an RJ-11 adapter for the local

telephone system.

Note

Do not connect to a digital telephone line or digital PABX

system. The hardware on the adapter will protect your modem

from inadvertent connection to a digital line.

Installing Card and Cables

Inserting the PRO/100 PC Card into the PC Card Slot

1Grasp the PRO/100 PC Card by the edges with the Intel logo

facing upward and the 68-pin PC Card connector next to the card

slot.

2Insert the card into the PC card slot and push it in until it is firmly

seated. If you have more than one PC card slot, the PRO/100 PC

Card will automatically detect which slot it is in.

Note

The PRO/100 PC Card may feel hot to the touch, after

prolonged periods of normal use in some environments. This is

normal and is not known to affect operation of the Intel card,

the host computer, or any other peripheral device. However, to

avoid discomfort, use caution when removing the card from your

computer after extended use (see your computer manual for

removal procedures).

PRO/100 Modem and Ethernet Connections

Connecting the Modem Cable to the PRO/100

 Hold the PC Card with the top (card label and network graphic)

facing you. Grasp the flat connector on the end of the Modem

Cable with the network graphic on top, and plug it in to the

matching receptacle on the right side of the PRO/100 PC Card.

The cable connector will click into place. Do not force the connec-

tion.

Attaching the Modem Cable to the PRO/100.

Connecting the Modem Cable to the Telephone Line

 Plug one end of a male analog telephone line cable into the RJ-11

jack on the Modem Cable, and the other end into an analog (single-

line) RJ-11 telephone wall jack.
