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-Sensing 5-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.
