The EZ Card 10/100
SMC's EZ Card
™
compliant computers. Designed to take advantage of the wider data path and increased data transfer
rate provided by the PCI bus, the EZ Card 10/100 delivers higher data throughput than comparable
ISA or EISA network cards. A true plug and play device, this card is auto-configurable upon power
up and also supports Auto-Negotiation, which automatically detects the optimum speed and
communication mode of an attached device and configures the card to operate accordingly.
Features and Benefits
• Conforms to ANSI/IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards
• Compatible with PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.0 or later
• PCI 32-bit Bus-Master architecture provides high data throughput
• Single 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port for easy migration from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet
• Auto-Negotiation for automatic selection of data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) and mode (half/full duplex)
• Automatic configuration setup using the PCI computer's BIOS setup program
• Supports full-duplex operation for twice the effective bandwidth in a switched network
• Supports early receive and transmit interrupt to boost data throughput
• Supports optional boot ROM for remote system/network access
• "At-a-glance" LED indicators for network traffic monitoring
10/100 network interface card is a dual-speed Fast Ethernet card for PCI local bus
