INTRODUCTION TO CARDBUS
Cardbus is the next generation 32-bit version issued by PCMCIA PC Card
standard.In addition to support a wider bus (32 bits instead of 16 bits), CardBus
also supports bus mastering and operation speeds up to 33 MHz. The
132MBytesbustranferrate (compareswith legacy16-bit I/0 PC Card ,20MByte)
provides the mobil userto enjoy the high-bandwith network connection.
Amobil computerwhich equippedwith CardBusandproperlyconfiguredis the
fundamental require-ment to use the CardBus FPC-0103TX Fast Ethernet
PC Card.tomake sureabout thispoint, pleasefollowthe guideline listed below:
?Cardbus is designed to support both 16-bit and Cardbus Card. But the legacy
16-bit PC Card slot couldn't accept the CardBus FPC-0103TX Fast
Ethernet PC Card.In oder to prevent the wrong operation,CardBus is
devoloped with particular machanical consideration to prevent it fit into the
legacy16-bitPC CardSlot.Ifyou can'tinserttheCardBus FPC-0103TX Fast
Ethernet PC Card into the slot firmly reaching the bottom, your notebook
probably hasn’t the capability to support CardBus techno-logy. Please check
your notebook manual for detail information.

?Due to variant design of notebook computers , some models implement a
setting in the Computer ‘s BIOS to switch between Cardbus and 16-bit PC
Card modes.You could consult the User’s Guide of your notebook and
properly set on the CardBus or Auto_Detect mode.

lFor operation in the100Mbps (100Base-TX) Ethernet network, a Category 5
unshielded twisted pair(UTP) cable should be used to connect between media
coupler and 100Mbps hub or switch.
lFor operation inthe 10Mbps (10Base-T) Ethernet network, Category 3, 4 or 5
unshieldedtwisted pair(UTP) cablecouldbe usedto connectbetweenthemedia
