4-1 Chapter 4 Network Communications This chapter provides information about networks and the hardware connectors and software device drivers that allow you to access a network. Once your network connection is active, you can share resources such as a printer, to exchange information from device to device and to run common software programs. NOTE: For more information about installing your network driver, refer to the Software Installation Guide. Your workstation comes Ethernet network ready, which means that it has a preinstalled network controller and preinstalled network drivers. The Compaq Fast Ethernet Embedded NIC NC3121 (10/100 Mbps) is a PCI bus mastering, dual speed 10BaseT, and 100BaseTX controller that will automatically detect network connection speed and adjust accordingly. The controller supports full duplex Ethernet, allowing two-way transmission between nodes for up to 20 or 200 Mbits/sec aggregate bandwidth. NOTE: Your workstation is also Token Ring Network capable. To connect to a Token Ring Network, you must install a Token Ring board. Compaq Professional Workstation AP500 Reference Guide
