Ethernet 10/100Base-T LAN Communications<br />
The terminal contains a 10/100Base-T Ethernet PCI connection.<br />
Ethernet 100Base-T is also known as “Fast Ethernet.” The Boot ROM<br />
for diskless boot functionality is included in the 1 MB system ROM.<br />
The hardware is compatible with the TCP/IP, DHCP, and TFTP<br />
protocols required for remote boot of the platform. Appropriate<br />
software must be used to enable each protocol used over the Ethernet<br />
link.<br />
The terminal may be connected to either a 10 MB/s or 100 MB/s<br />
Ethernet connection. The hardware automatically selects the correct<br />
speed (if enabled by software to do so).<br />
The LAN hardware supports wakeup packet capability as defined in<br />
the Device Class Power Management Specification, Network Device<br />
Class (available from the Microsoft ® Web site).<br />
When the platform is in the Soft OFF state, receipt of a Wakeup Packet<br />
on the LAN can return the system to the ON state, if this feature is<br />
enabled by software.<br />
Note: Due to limitations of the LAN controller and the OS, all features<br />
described in the Network Device Class specification may not be<br />
available.<br />
100Base-T is wired identically to 10Base-T, except that the twisted pair<br />
cable must be Category 5 and the hubs must permit 100 or 10/100<br />
MB/s operation. Although 10Base-T will operate on Category 3 twisted<br />
pair, or NCR “747” cable, an upgrade to Category 5 is required for<br />
100Base-T.<br />
A customer desiring to use the terminal in an existing 10Base-T<br />
environment can do so and simply run at 10 MB. In order to upgrade to<br />
100 MB/s, Category 5 cable and 100 or 10/100 hubs must be installed.<br />
NCR strongly recommends the use of Category 5 for all new cabling,<br />
even if the customer initially intends to run only 10Base-T.<br />
LED Indicators for Link Integrity (verifies cable and hub connection are<br />
good) and LAN speed is provided on the Processor Board near the row<br />
of connectors at the bottom of the e-box. The LED is ON (yellow) when<br />
the speed is running at 100 MB/s.
