Introduction
turn on any computer with a WOL network card to per- form after-hours tasks or to access files. The ultimate in managed 10/100 networking is yours! If you don’t have WOL support on your motherboard or you have no need for it, don’t worry -- your EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card will operate normally anyway.
The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Network In a Box also includes an EtherFast 10/100 Auto-Sensing5-Port Workgroup Hub. The hub features five 10BaseT/ 100BaseTX RJ-45 ports that allow you to network up to four computers right now. Each port automatically detects and negotiates 10Mbps and 100Mbps connec- tions. As your network grows, you can uplink the hub to other EtherFast hubs. The 10/100 Auto-Sensing 5-Port Workgroup Hub includes a switched distance extender uplink port that is capable of sending data up to 100 meters over a 100BaseTX connection. As long as the other four ports on the hub are running at 100Mbps, the uplink port will go 100 meters (328 feet). If your con- nections are not all running at 100Mbps, the uplink dis- tance to another 100BaseTX hub will become 5 meters (16.4 feet). See page 54 in the Appendix for cabling rules.
