Section One: Introduction
The BE2000 products allow you to connect the IBM personal
computer ISA-bus (or compatible) to an Ethernet network. The
10Base-T adapter (BE2000/T) provides an RJ45 for connecting
to an unshielded twisted-pair network (10Base-T). The Combo
Ethernet adapter (BE2000/2) provides this plus a 10Base2 BNC
connector to attach to thin coax.
Features of the BOCALANcard Ethernet Adapter:
• Compliant with ISO/ANSI IEEE 802.3 specifications
• High-performance, highly integrated one-chip solution
• On-board support for connecting to a 10Base-T network
(BE2000/T) or 10Base2 (BE2000/2).
• Designed to work with 286, and high-speed 386 and 486-
based systems
• Jumperless adapter—all features such as interrupt channel,
memory address, and I/O address are software-selectable.
• Easy installation and maintenance.
• Uses existing NE2000 drivers—no need to install new
drivers.
• Low-cost solution for networks requiring 10Base-T or
10Base2 connection.
• One link/receive status LED indicator and one transmit
status LED indicator.
• NE2000-compatible.
