MODULAR PARALLEL ADAPTERS AND MODULAR MEDIA UNITS
2. Introduction
The Modular Parallel Adapter easily connects notebook, laptop, and desktop PCs to virtually any Ethernet Local Area Network. It connects externally to a standard parallel printer port, eliminating the need to install internal Ethernet cards. The adapter is easy to install; there are no jumpers or configuration switches to set. The device is the perfect solution for notebook and laptop connectivity, as well as for workstations with a limited number of internal expansion slots. The Adapter fits all Ethernet cable types.
The modular construction of the Adapter enables you to work with all three cabling systems used in Ethernet networks. You simply attach the Modular Media Unit that matches your cabling system to the Adapter and then connect to the network.
