Instant EtherFast® Series scanners, and printers). With USB, a new device can be added to your computer without having to add an adapter card or even having to turn the computer off. The USB peripheral bus standard was developed by Compaq, IBM, DEC, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, and Northern Telecom and the technology is available without charge for all computer and device vendors. USB supports a data speed of 12 megabit per second. This speed will accommodate a wide range of devices, including MPEG video devices, data gloves, and digitizers. It is anticipated that USB will easily accommodate plug-in telephones that use Integrated Services Digital Network and digital private branch exchange. Since October, 1996, the Windows operating systems have been equipped with USB driver or special software designed to work with specific I/O device types. USB is integrated into most Windows operating systems. Today, most new computers and peripheral devices are equipped with USB. A different "plug-and-play" standard, FireWire/IEEE 1394, is designed to support much higher data rates and devices such as video camcorders and digital video disk (digital versatile disk) players. Both standards are expected to exist together, serving different device types. UTP - Unshielded twisted pair is the most common kind of copper telephone wiring. Twisted pair is the ordinary copper wire that connects home and many business computers to the telephone company. To reduce crosstalk or electromagnetic induction between pairs of wires, two insulated copper wires are twisted around each other. Each signal on twisted pair requires both wires. Since some telephone sets or desktop locations require multiple connections, twisted pair is sometimes installed in two or more pairs, all within a single cable. WAN (Wide Area Network)- A communications network that covers a relatively large geographic area, consisting of two or more LANs. Broadband communication over the WAN is often through public networks such as the telephone (DSL) or cable systems, or through leased lines or satellites. In its most basic definition, the Internet could be considered a WAN. Workgroup - Two or more individuals that share files and databases. 51 EtherFast® Wireless-Ready USB PrintServer Appendix E: Specifications Standards: Protocol: Ports: PCMCIA: IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u, USB 1.0 and 1.1, PCMCIA 2.0 TCP/IP, NetBEUI, AppleTalk One 10/100 RJ-45 Port, One USB Port, One Power Port Type II Slot (for use with WPC11 only) Transfer Speed: LAN: Wireless: Memory: Button: Cabling Type: LEDs: 10Mbps or 100Mbps (Half Duplex) 20Mbps or 200Mbps (Full Duplex) Up to 11Mbps 512KB Flash Memory Reset Network: UTP Category 5 or better Printer: Standard USB Cable LAN, WLAN, ACT, Err 52
