Fast Ethernet adapters for PCI-Bus personal computers. This Introduction chapter will be useful if you are new to Fast Ethernet and other new technology featured by the DFE-530TX. Otherwise, skip ahead to the Installation chapter. About Fast Ethernet Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802.3u.
Full duplex lOOBase-TX transmission and reception, both at lOOMbps, providing service potentially equal to 200Mbps half-duplex service. The DFE-530TX Adapter does not support the lOOBase-T4 subtype. To provide compatibility in traditional 1OMbps Ethernet environments (where, for example, DFE-530TX adapters are installed...
