Instant EtherFast® Series Introduction The Linksys Fast Ethernet Switched 10/100 Network In a Box The Linksys Fast Ethernet Switched 10/100 Network In a Box comes with everything you need to get a network up and running in minutes. Plug in the cards, attach the provided network cables, install the software drivers, and go! Built to run with the fastest video, publishing, graphics, and database applications, the EtherFast® 10/100 LAN Card is a high performance LAN Card for desktop computers with 32-bit PCI expansion slots. Boasting a maximum data throughput of 200 megabits per second in full duplex mode (100Mbps in half duplex), the 10/100 LAN Card is ready to run with both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX networks. The card's 10/100 combo port automatically detects your network's maximum speed and adjusts itself accordingly. The EtherFast®10/100 LAN Card from Linksys also features Wake-On-LAN event management. If your PCI motherboard has built-in WOL support through PME, you'll be able to utilize this unique management feature. You can remotely turn on any computer with a WOL network card to perform after-hours tasks or to access files. If you don't have WOL support on your motherboard or you have no need for it, don't worry-your EtherFast® 10/100 Network Adatper will operate perfectly without it. The Fast Ethernet Switched 10/100 Network In a Box also includes an EtherFast® 10/100 5-Port Workgroup Switch. The switch features five 10BaseT/ 100BaseTX RJ-45 ports that allow you to network up to five computers. Each port automatically detects and negotiates 10Mbps and 100Mbps connections. As your network grows, you can uplink the switch to other EtherFast® hubs, switches, routers or whatever Broadband peripherals your network requires.
