10BASE-T CONNECTOR (J12)

The TEK-CPCI-1000 supports both 10Base-T and 100Base-T on the same RJ-45 front plate
connector. 10Mbps and 100Mbps network speed is automatically detected and switched.
The 10Base-T interface uses UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables, category 5, 4 or 3 (5 is
better), while the 100Base-T cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3 100Base-T standard
for 2 pairs Category 5 UTP cable.
This connection type allows links up to 100m over both shielded twisted pair and data
grade (Cat. 5) unshielded twisted pair or equivalent.
The Ethernet controller resides on the PCI bus and is therefore Plug and Play by default. No
manual configuration is required. A diskette entitled "Network Drivers for IN82557" is
included with the Ethernet option. This diskette contains several operating system network
drivers.
To install the drivers, run the "setup.exe" program.
For other operating system drivers and installation instructions, contact TEKNOR's
Technical Support department.
