2 PCL-843 User's Manual
D e s c r i p t i o n
The PCL-843 is a high performance jumperless 16-bit Ethernet
adapter that connects to either thin Ethernet coax or twisted pair
cabling.
The card is fully compatible with the popular Novel NE2000 PC bus
adapter. As a result the card can be used with most network operating
systems, drivers and utilities.
The PCL-843 provides a thin coax (10BASE-2) interface and a
twisted pair (10BASE-T) interface. Both interfaces fully comply with
the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-2 and 10BASE-T standards for 10-Mbps
CSMA/CD local area networks. An auto-sensing circuit automatically
detects which of the two interfaces is being used. The PCL-843 not
only supports the two most popular cabling types, it also minimizes
the cost of media conversion and maintenance for future use.
The PCL-843's advanced design eliminates the need to use it's
switches and jumpers, making it ideal for industrial applications
requiring low MTTR. An easy-to-use setup program lets you config-
ure the card completely in software. (Alternatively, you can use the
card's jumpers.)
The PCL-843 conforms to FCC Class A standards. Put a boot ROM in
its supported socket and you can boot the workstation automatically
from a file server without any local disk drives, excellent for operation
in stand-alone and harsh industrial environments.
