This is an Ethernet Module plugged into a hub running at 10 or 100 Mbps. The module is then connected to a server with an Intel EtherExpress™ PRO/100 LAN Adapter using CAT 5 TPE cable. Use the MDI-X connector on the Ethernet Module.

You don’t need to configure the Ethernet Module or the LAN adapter to establish a full-duplex connection at 100 Mbps. However, if you don’t get a full-duplex connection at 100 Mbps, force the speed and duplex on both the module and the adapter (see steps 1-4 on page 7).

Connecting to a 10 Mbps printer from a hub that is operating at 100 Mbps

To connect to a 10 Mbps-only printer through a 10 Mbps hub, use the MDI connector on the Ethernet Module. To connect directly to a

10 Mbps print server, use the MDI-X connector.

Notes on connecting to a device at full-duplex

1If you’re unsure of a device’s auto-negotiation capabilities, force the duplex mode of the Ethernet Module to ensure you’ll get a full- duplex connection.

2Your performance with a full-duplex connection will vary depending on your network. If you have problems, it’s safest to establish a half-duplex connection.
