■ LAN function
LAN Controller Intel 82801DB(ICH4)integrated + 82562EM
Transmission buffer RAM 3K bytes for transmission (send/receive)
External Interface ISO8802-3 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T
Transmission media Twisted pair cable
*1
(100Mbps: Category 5, 10Mbps: Category 3 - 5)
Transmission system Baseband
Access method CSMA/CD
Data transfer rate 100 Mbps, 10 Mbps
Cabling form Star form
Maximum segment length 100 m
Maximum nodes/segments Depending on the hub unit
*2
*1: To successfully activate the network at 100 Mbps, use a non shield twisted pair (UTP) cable of Category 5 or higher.The data
may be lost, if Category 3 cable is used.
*2: The hub unit implies a 100 BASE-TX/10BASE-T concentrator.
Point
The standard built-in LAN of this computer automatically supports the data rate of the network.
If the network speed changes due to changes in the hub unit, be sure to use cables of an appropriate
data grade for that speed.
