Cabling
To ensure that the device can transfer data at the desired speeds, networking cables must
meet appropriate standards.
1000 Mbps:
Data transfer at 1000 Mbps requires Cat. 5 cables (Cat. 5e recommended) with
all four wire pairs terminated in an RJ-45 connector. For a straight-through cable, both
connectors must be terminated according to the EIA/TIA 568B wiring standard. For a
crossover cable, one connector must follow EIA/TIA 568A and the other must follow EIA/TIA
568B.
100 Mbps:
Data transfer at 100 Mbps requires a Cat. 5 cable with correctly terminated
connectors (see 1000 Mbps); this standard only uses two wire pairs.
10 Mbps:
Data transfer at 10 Mbps requires Cat. 3, 4 or 5 cables with correctly terminated
connectors (see 1000 Mbps). This standard also only uses two wire pairs.
Status LEDs
Two LEDs are located on the card’s bracket (the metal part visible on the outside of the
computer), which indicate the card’s connection speed and port activity.

PING
A method commonly used to verify correct network operation is to use the PING command,
which can be run from the command line interface. In order to open the command line dialog
under Windows 95, 98 or Me, open the
Start
menu, select
Run
and then type
COMMMAND.COM
and click

. Under Windows 2000 and XP, use the same procedure to launch the command
line interface, replacing
COMMMAND.COM
with
CMD.EXE
. PING syntax is explained below.
