3.5 Router 2-Port 10/100 MIM
3.5.1 Introduction
The 2-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX FE interface card (Router 2-Port 10/100 MIM)
provides one/two 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet interface(s) for router-and-LAN
communication.
The cards support:
z 100 meters (328.1 ft.) of transmission segment over the category-5 twisted-pair
cable.
z Operation at 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps, autosensing.
z Full duplex and half-duplex, with the former in common use.
