Introduction
The Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Network In a Box
The Linksys 10/100 Network In a Box comes with everything you need to get a net-
work up and running in minutes. Plug in the cards, attach the provided network cables,
install the software drivers, and go!
Built to run with the fastest video, publishing, graphics, and database applications, the
EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card is a high performance network adapter for desktop
computers with 32-bit PCI expansion slots. Boasting a maximum data throughput of
200 megabits per second in full duplex mode (100Mbps in half duplex), the 10/100
LAN Card is ready to run with both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX networks. The card's
10/100 combo port automatically detects your network's maximum speed and adjusts
itself accordingly.
The 10/100 LAN Card from Linksys also features Wake-On-LAN event management.
If your PCI motherboard has built-in WOL support, you’ll be able to utilize this
unique management feature. You can remotely turn on any computer with a WOL net-
work card to perform after-hours tasks or to access files. If you don’t have WOL sup-
port on your motherboard or you have no need for it, don’t worry—your EtherFast
10/100 LAN Card will operate perfectly without it.
The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Network In a Box also includes an EtherFast 10/100  5-
Port Workgroup Hub
. The hub features five 10BaseT/ 100BaseTX RJ-45 ports that
allow you to network up to five computers. Each port automatically detects and nego-
tiates 10Mbps and 100Mbps connections. As your network grows, you can uplink the
hub to other EtherFast hubs, switches, routers or Broadband modems.
