Product CN-8346 - 10Base-5 & 10Base-FL 16-Bit AT ISA NIC with AUI and ST/SMA Connectors
Overview

   The CodeNet-8346 is a 16-bit AUI and 10Base-FL combination 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-8346 ISA adapter provides a high performance link to an Ethernet network segment, based upon the IEEE 10Base-FL, AUI and FOIRL standards. The 10Base-FL specification also includes backwards compatibility with the earlier Fiber Optic Inter-Repeater Link (FOIRL) IEEE standard. The AUI interface allows connection to standard Ethernet transceivers and MAUs providing a high performance link to other Ethernet network segments such as 10Base~5. Using the fiber interface, workstations can be more than 2 kms from the hub. The AUI network interface provides a link to the MAU that can extend 50 meters (164 ft). CodeNet-8346 10Base-FL, AUI and FOIRL adapters are compatible with other 10Base-FL, AUI and FOIRL products and can be used in an open systems environment with other manufacturers' hubs and repeaters.

Features

  • AUI and Fiber Optic Ethernet Interfaces in one adapter, connects an ISA computer to a MAU (ex. 10Base-5) or 10Base-FL/FOIRL Ethernet segment,
  • Dual-ported 16-Kbyte shared memory or Base I/0 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 UnixWare, Solaris 86, IBM OS/2, SCO and Banyan Vines.
  • Operates in either 8-bit or 16-bit ISA slots or in any EISA slot.
  • Fully compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10Base-FL, AUI and FOIRL standards.
  • Computers can be more than 2000 meters (1.2 miles) from an Ethernet hub, using the 10Base-FL interface, and up to 50 meters (164 feet) from a MAU, using the AUI network 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-8346 adapters are fully compatible with other 10Base-FL, AUI and FOIRL products and can be used with other manufacturers' concentrators and repeaters.
