Connecting the Adapter to the Network

 

The AsantéFAST 10/100 adapter provides a single RJ-45 port for connecting 
the adapter to your network. Using NWay™ auto-negotiation, the adapter 
will sense the hub's speed and set the adapter to run at either 10Mbps or 
100Mbps. See the 

 

section for more details.

The AsantéNIC-PCI adapter provides both RJ-45 and AUI ports for your net-
work. Easy on-screen configuration lets you select the port to use.

Important: Connection to a 100BASE-TX hub for
100Mbps operation requires a Category 5 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable. The maximum length from the
100BASE-TX hub to the adapter is 100 meters. Connec-
tion to a 10BASE-T hub for 10Mbps operation requires a
Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable.

 

Connecting a UTP Cable 

 

To connect your UTP cable to the network using the RJ-45 connector, follow 
the instructions below:

 

Plug the RJ45 connector on one end of your UTP cable into the 
adapter’s RJ45 port.

 

Plug the other end of your UTP cable into the network hub or 
wall socket connected to a network hub.

 

Turn the computer power on. 

 

Connecting a Thick Ethernet Cable (AsantéNIC-PCI Only)

 

To connect your thick Ethernet cable to the network using the AUI port on 
the AsantéNIC-PCI adapter, follow the instructions below:

 

Connect the DB-15 connector on one end of the thick Ethernet 
cable to the adapter’s AUI port.

 

Connect the other end of the cable to the external transceiver.

 

Lock the connector or tighten the screws, if necessary.

 

Turn the computer power on.
