CONFIGURING 3COM 3C507 AND 3C507TP NIC

LAN SUPPORT TUTORIAL #3 

PAGE 5 

Configure Card (or TPAU) for 10BASE-T or Draft D 

You cannot correctly configure the 3C507TP or a TPAU without knowing your LAN's hub 
type and the operating mode of that hub. A misconfigured card may appear to work but 

there's no guarantee that it will work consistently -- or that it won't wreak havoc on your 
LAN: such connectivity hardware configured incorrectly can "flood" the LAN and severely 

disrupt local communications.  

Your Telecom representative will be able to tell you the hub type and the 10BASE-T version, 

or you can try to guess by checking the TPAU on a neighboring workstation: if it's an old 
ASP300 -- the kind with only one switch -- then your subnet can only be Draft D and link-

integrity cannot be enabled on the TPAU. (The ASP300 has only one switch, which should 
always be down.) It's best, however, to consult with your Telecom representative for a 

definitive answer. When you have the information, set the jumpers on the 3C507TP for 
10BASE-T or Draft D using the settings in the table below. Or set the switches on the 

Ungermann-Bass TPAU that you'll connect to the 3C507. 

SWITCH SETTINGS FOR ASP300 

The Ungermann-Bass ASP300 TPAU has only one setting, which is for the SQE (signal 
quality error) test feature. This setting should always be down in order to disable that 

feature.
