Chapter 1: Introduction
Fast Ethernet is a standard of networking built specifically for speed-intensive
network applications like video-conferencing, multimedia development, imag-
ing, and complex databases. Capable of sending and receiving data at
100
megabits-per-second
in half-duplex mode, and 200Mbps in full duplex, Fast
Ethernet technology is at least 10 times faster than traditional 10BaseT net-
works.
Built to run with the fastest network applications, the EtherFast
®
10/100 LAN
Card is a high performance network adapter for desktop computers with 32-bit
PCI
expansion slots. The EtherFast
®
10/100 LAN Card is ready to run with
both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX networks right out of the box – the card's 10/100
RJ-45 port automatically detects your network's maximum speed and adjusts
itself accordingly.
The EtherFast
®
10/100 LAN Card from Linksys also features Wake-On-LAN
(WOL) event management. If your PCI motherboard has built-in WOL support
(card supports PME only), you’ll be able to utilize this unique management fea-
ture. You can remotely turn on any computer with a WOL network card. The
ultimate in 10/100 networking is yours! If you don’t have WOL support on your
motherboard or you have no need for it, don’t worry—your EtherFast
®
10/100
LAN Card will operate normally anyway. If your mission critical applications
require blinding network speed, the EtherFast
®
10/100 LAN Card is the best
value for your networking dollar.
