the 3Com OfficeConnect Fast
Ethernet Network Interface Card
(NIC), model 3CSOHO100-TX, is
an ideal way to connect Pentium-class
desktop computers with internal
32-bit PCI expansion slots to your
business network. The NIC uses an
RJ-45 interface to automatically sense
and connect at the current network
speed–10 or 100 Mbps–when con-
nected to a hub port. That means you
can use your NIC with your existing
10BASE-T Ethernet network and
upgrade to a 100BASE-TX Fast
Ethernet network later, without
purchasing a new NIC.
Optimized for Windows. Ships with
complete, easy-to-use installation
software for Windows 95/98, and
Windows NT to provide an ideal
solution for peer-to-peer and client-
server networks.
Flexibility. Use this NIC with either
10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet networks. It automatically
adjusts for either speed.
The OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet
NIC is Plug and Play under
Windows 95 and 98. It includes a
Windows-based diagnostics and con-
figuration utility for easy installation
and troubleshooting. And link
activity and network status LEDs
provide at-a-glance monitoring of
network health and status.
Easy installation and use. Installs
in minutes, is fully software config-
urable, Plug and Play compliant
with Windows 95/98, and includes
everything needed to get your
small business up and running
quickly.
