Establishing a network connection (PC, Laptop) Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full Duplex, 100 Mb/s Half Duplex, iT300 series modules support the Internet Protocol version 4 and 100 Mb/s Full Duplex. The transceiver is configured for (IPv4) network addressing architecture. The default IPv4 Auto-Negotiation.
Properties: In the following example, we will adjust a PC’s network adapter settings to be compatible with the iT300/301. The operating system is Windows 7. The procedure will differ for other operating systems. Consult a network administrator if you are unsure about making changes to network settings.
