Product CN-8341B - 10Base-FL 16-Bit AT ISA NIC with ST/SMA Connectors |
Overview
The CodeNet-8341B is a 16-bit 10Base-FL Ethernet network
adapter for the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus. This
adapter operates in either 8-bit or 16-bit ISA slots or in any EISA
slot. The board design allows the adapter to map its on-board
RAM directly into the host system's main memory (shared
memory mode), or to use a Base I/O address for network
adapter data transfer (NE2000+ mode).
The CodeNet-8341B ISA adapter provides a high performance,
fiber optic link to an Ethernet network segment, based upon the
IEEE 10Base-FL standard. The 10Base-FL specification also
includes backwards compatibility with the earlier Fiber Optic Inter Repeater Link (FOIRL) IEEE standard. Using the fiber interface,
workstations can be more than 2 kms from the hub. CodeNet-
8341B 10Base-FL/FOIRL adapters are compatible with other
10Base-FL/FOIRL products and can be used in an open systems
environment with other manufacturers' hubs and repeaters.

Features
Connects an IBM PCXT, AT, PS/2-25, 30 and compatibles
to any 10Base-FL/FOIRL fiber optic Ethernet network.
Dual-ported 16-Kbyte shared memory or Base I/O board
access for exceptional performance. No DMA channels
required.
Software support for popular network operating systems
including: Novell NetWare 386, Microsoft LAN Manager
(NDIS), Windows for Workgroup, Windows NT, Novell's
UnixWare, Solaris 86, IBM OS/2, SCO and Banyan Vines.
Operates in either 8-bit or 16-blt ISA slots or in any EISA
slot.
Fully compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10Base-FL and
FOIRL standards.
Computers can be more than 2 kilometers (1.2 miles)
from an Ethernet hub using the 10Base-FL interface.
Built-in Link Integrity and optical "idle" signal enhance
data integrity, simplify problem resolution and allow
simple measurements of transmitter power for testing
fiber cable links.
CodeNet-8341B adapters are fully compatible with other
10Base-FL and FOIRL products and can be used with
other manufacturers' concentrators and repeaters.
