The 3Com® EtherLink® III Parallel Tasking® adapters are a

family of third-generation Ethernet adapters.This family

includes 16-bit Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) and 32-bit

Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) adapters as

well as Micro Channel® Architecture (MCA) and Personal

Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)

adapters.This guide contains installation, configuration, and

diagnostic information about the 16-bit ISA adapters

only.

Overview

This guide describes these 3Com EtherLink III ISA adapters:

■ 3C509B-TPO (twisted-pair only)

■ 3C509B-TP (twisted-pair)

■ 3C509B (coax)

■ 3C509B-COMBO (coax and twisted-pair)

These adapters are functionally identical; they differ only in

the layout of the components and the type of media

supported on the backplates, as shown in Figure 1-1.The

name "EtherLink III adapter" is used in this guide to refer to

all four adapters unless otherwise specified.
