Galvanic de-coupling 1.4 Board Overview The CP341 board by PEP Modular Computers is a Compact PCI Fast Ethernet LAN controller for multiple server-to-client networking functions. It provides dual independent fast Ethernet Interfaces. Both interfaces are based on the Intel Fast Ethernet PCI Bus LAN Controller 82558 with integrated physical layer interface (PHY).
64 kByte. 1.5.3 Board Interfaces Figure 1-3: RJ45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Connector The CP341 is provided principally with two RJ45 network communication connectors for Ethernet or Fast Ethernet, to which your system’s communi- cation lines are connected. Page 1 - 8 ®...
Introduction Ethernet and Fast Ethernet The CP341 LAN controller board envisages the use of the renown CSMA/CD protocol (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection), enabling data to move between Ethernet and Fast Ethernet nodes on the LAN without any protocol translation.

Configuration 2. Configuration The CP341 accords fully with the plug & play philosophy. Since it uses a standard Win- dows NT driver It does not need any jumpers and, therefore, does not require configura- tion. A complete set of drivers is located on the PEP Modular Computers “Drivers” disk supplied with the CP341.

CP341 is designed to support star topology 2-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cables. 3.1.2 Board Placement In deciding on a location for the unit which will house your CP341, the following factors must be considered: • length of each cable connection between devices;...
The CP341 is fully compatible with the plug & play philosophy. As it uses standard Win- dows NT drivers it does not need any jumper setting and, therefore, does not require any hardware configuration.
3.2.2 Installation of Network Drivers After having inserted your CP341 board into the CompactPCI backplane and started Windows NT, you need to install the Intel board drivers and test your CP341 board. Pro- ceed as follows: • Double-click the “Network” icon in the “Control panel”.
• Type A:\ (or B:\) in the dialog box and click “OK”. Then follow the interactive instruc- tions to install the drivers. When the CP341 board is added, you will see its name listed in the “Network adapters” list. •...
AFT gives you the ability to set up link recovery to the server adapter in the event of a cable, port, or network interface card failure. By assigning two single-port CP340 adapters or one twin-port CP341 adapter as a team, AFT enables you to maintain uninterrupted network performance.
