Page 15: Fdse Technology Overview
INTRODUCTION FDSE TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW 1.4.1 Why Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet? The E2200 Series adapters can operate in both Standard Ethernet mode, and Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet mode. There are many benefits to be gained from operating in Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE) mode. Full-Duplex Ethernet operation can double the throughput of an existing system while eliminating rewiring costs, as it doubles network speed from 10 Mbps to 20 Mbps. -
Page 16: Mac Layer
INTRODUCTION In order to implement FDSE, we must define three key components: the operation of the MAC layer entity, the operation of the MAU, or transceiver, and the operation of an Auto-Detection mechanism (for Auto-Detect of FDSE). The most important, and fundamental requirement for FDSE is that FDSE technology be backward-compatible with standard 802.3 Ethernet technology. -
Page 17: Fdse Cabling
INTRODUCTION 1.4.4 FDSE Cabling FDSE will run on existing category 3 and category 4 UTP cabling. There is no need to change cable media to upgrade to FDSE technology. However, for new wiring plant designs, category 5 cabling will allow upgrading to 100 Mbps Ethernet operation in the future. Category 5 UTP cable is specified for desktop wiring distances up to 100 meters and data rates up to 100Mbps. -

Page 31: Chapter 3 Secondary Media
This section contains instructions for connecting your adapter’s secondary media port to an Ethernet network. The adapter’s secondary media port can be connected to the Ethernet network via any of the following means: a second 10BASE-T link, a Thin- Net coaxial connection, a fiber optic link, a wireless hub, or an AUI port and an external Ethernet transceiver. - Page 32 SECONDARY MEDIA Push the tee connector in until you engage the pins and rotate the tee connector clockwise until it locks. Next, attach the thin-net segment (see Figure 3-1) to one of the male connections on the BNC tee-connector. Rotate and lock the collar on the Thin-Net segment, as above.

Page 33: Connecting To An External Transceiver
SECONDARY MEDIA HAZARD WARNING CONNECTING TO AN EXTERNAL TRANSCEIVER 3.2.1 AUI Port Figure 3-2. Connecting an AUI Cable Any adapter with an AUI port can be connected to the network via an external transceiver and an AUI cable. The AUI port should have been selected during adapter configuration procedures. -
Page 34: Aui Interface
SECONDARY MEDIA To connect an AUI cable to your adapter, attach an external transceiver to the network segment to which the adapter is going to be attached. Refer to the applicable transceiver manual. Attach the female end of an AUI cable, no more than 50 meters in length, to the transceiver. - Page 35 We recommend that you label the fiber optic cable to indicate which fiber is Receive and which is Transmit. When you buy fiber optic cable from Cabletron Systems, it is labeled so that at one end of the cable the fiber is labeled 1, and the other fiber is labeled 2. This pattern is repeated at the other end of the cable.
- Page 36 SECONDARY MEDIA To connect a fiber optic segment, attach the fiber labeled 2 to the adapter’s Transmit port (light gray). Attach the fiber labeled 1 to the adapter’s Receive port (dark gray). At the other end of the fiber optic cable, attach the fiber labeled 1 to the Transmit port of the applicable device.
