EM110 T4 ISA, EISA and PCI Adapters


EM 110 T4 Fast ethernet adapters, designed for PCI, EISA and ISA servers and workstations, are the fastest way to connect to 10 Mbits/sec. and 100 Mbits/sec. Fast ethernet networks. These high speed adapters combine flexibility, performance, and cabling compatibility to provide the easiest migration possible from 10BASE-T and 10BASE-2 to 100BASE-T4 Fast ethernet.

Features/Benefits

Additional features for ISA models

Additional features for EISA models

  • SMC 9lClOO FEAST Fast Ethernet controller
  • Integrated 128 KByte packet buffer for increased performance
  • DMA burst mode transfers
  • Fully software configurable, includes EISA configuration file

    Additional Features for PCI models

    The Combo Option - Universal Connectivity and Upgrade Path

    The EM 110 T4 Combo achieves universal cable connectivity by providing a BNC coax connector. You can connect to your old coax network now, and still be prepared for the eventual upgrade to Fast ethernet.

    AutoSense configuration provides flexibility

    The AutoSense feature of EM 110 T4 allows the adapter to detect the maximum line speed of your network automatically. Simply connect the EM 110 T4 to any existing 10BASE-T or 1 OOBASE-T4 network device of any speed; no adapter configuration is necessary. For maximum flexibili- ty, this AutoSense feature is compatible with all 1 0 and 1 00 Mbitstsec. devices, including those without NWAY line speed negotiation.

    Category 3 UTP support provides low-cost upgrade

    T4 suppose means that you don't have to upgrade your cabling plant. EM1 1 0 T4 will run on any UTP cable you are currently using for 1OBASE-T. Run the EM 110 T4 now at 10 Mbits/sec., or 2OMbits/sec. Full Duplex, and in the future run at 100 Mbits/sec. using the same adapter and the same cable.

    High bandwidth networking

    Ten times faster than traditional 10 Mbits/sec. Ethernet adapters, EM 110 T4 Fast Ethernet is ideal for resource-intensive graphics, multi- media, Microsoft Windows, and mission-critical applications which need high throughput and low CPU utilization to power large amounts of data across the network.
