Connecting to a server at full-duplex
This is an Ethernet Module plugged into a hub running at 10 or 100
Mbps. The module is then connected to a server with an Intel
EtherExpress™ PRO/100 LAN Adapter using CAT 5 TPE cable. Use
the MDI-X connector on the Ethernet Module.
You don’t need to configure the Ethernet Module or the LAN adapter
to establish a full-duplex connection at 100 Mbps. However, if you
don’t get a full-duplex connection at 100 Mbps, force the speed and
duplex on both the module and the adapter (see steps 1-4 on page 7).
Connecting to a 10 Mbps printer from
a hub that is operating at 100 Mbps
To connect to a 10 Mbps-only printer through a 10 Mbps hub, use the
MDI connector on the Ethernet Module. To connect directly to a
10 Mbps print server, use the MDI-X connector.
Notes on connecting to a device at full-duplex
1 If you’re unsure of a device’s auto-negotiation capabilities, force
the duplex mode of the Ethernet Module to ensure you’ll get a full-
duplex connection.
2 Your performance with a full-duplex connection will vary
depending on your network. If you have problems, it’s safest to
establish a half-duplex connection.
