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 

OK

. 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. 

 

PING [options] target_name 

 
The following options are available: 

-t
