CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR®GA302T Copper Gigabit

Adapter. Designed especially for high-performance systems, such as servers and

high-end workstations, it offers 2 gigabits per second (Gbps) of aggregate bandwidth

and optimized performance while minimizing network overhead on the host system.

This guide describes the installation and use of the GA302T for operation within a

Microsoft®Windows®XP, Windows®2000, Windows®Me, Windows®98 or Windows®

NT 4.0 environment.

This chapter provides information about the features of the GA302T. It connects

your PCI-compliant workstation to a Gigabit Ethernet network, incorporating a new

technology that transfers data at a rate of 1 Gbps or 1000 megabits per second

(Mbps) over standard Category 5 cables.

Benefits

Performance is optimized and network overhead on the host system is minimized

with the use of the GA302T Copper Gigabit Adapter.

The GA302T has demonstrated interoperability with all major Gigabit Ethernet

equipment on the market that is compliant with IEEE 802.3ab standards and should

work with most non-compliant Gigabit Ethernet products. In addition, because the

GA302T uses standard Ethernet frame and Media Access Control (MAC) formats,

it provides full compatibility with Fast Ethernet network equipment through network

switches from a variety of vendors, including NETGEAR®

The GA302T is 802.1p-compliant for frame priority tagging. Using it with

802.1p-compliant switches or routers, it offers a range of traffic prioritization of

Layer 2 frames, providing a higher Quality of Service on high-speed local area

networks.

Features

The key features of the GA302T Copper Gigabit Adapter are:

• Full-duplex operation (2,000 Mbps: 1,000 Mbps each way) with DMA (Direct

Memory Access) Gigabit Ethernet interface (IEEE 802.3ab)

• RJ-45 connector for Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable

• Interoperability with existing Fast Ethernet equipment compliance with the

following standards and protocols:

– IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet

– IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet

– IEEE 802.3 Ethernet

– IEEE 802.3u Auto Negotiation

• Standard Ethernet frame size (up to 1,518 bytes)

• 33/66 MHz, 32/64-bit PCI bus master (Local Bus Revision 2.2 compliant)

with adaptive DMA channels

• Two independent DMA channels for simultaneous read and write operations;

as a bus master, the network card requests access to the PCI bus instead of

waiting to be polled

• Software driver support for Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows

98 and Windows NT 4.0.

• Universal dual-voltage signaling (3.3 V and 5 V)
