Installation Procedure
If you are an
experienced user
, and you are familiar with your
computer, its operating system, and the installation of network
adapters - you can follow this simple installation procedure, and
use the subsequent chapters in this manual for reference if
necessary.
Plug and Play Systems
“Plug and Play™” is an automatic configuration scheme. Your
computer can be considered a “Plug and Play” system if it uses
either a Plug and Play BIOS, or a Plug and Play operating system,
or a Plug and Play Configuration Manager device driver. Plug and
Play software will automatically set the parameters of IRQ, I/O
Base Address, and DMA channel for all adapters that are plugged
into the system at power up time.
WARNING
At this time, if you need to install a Boot ROM, see
Section 2.3.1,
Installing a Boot ROM
. Otherwise follow the steps outlined on the
next page.
The E2200 network adapters are sensitive to static
discharges. Touch the metal chassis of your computer to
discharge any static electricity. Hold the adapter by the top
of the metal bracket and the opposite top corner. Avoid
contact with the adapter’s expansion bus edge connector or
any of the adapter’s components. Failure to observe all static
precautions could result in damage to the adapter. We
recommend the use of an antistatic wrist strap.
!
CAUTION
Make sure power to your PC is switched off and
the power cord unplugged before you open the
chassis. Opening the PC chassis with power on
can subject you to a serious electrical hazard.

INTRODUCTION
1.4 FDSE TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
1.4.1 Why Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet?
The E2200 Series adapters can operate in both Standard Ethernet
mode, and Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet mode. There are many
benefits to be gained from operating in Full-Duplex Switched
Ethernet (FDSE) mode. Full-Duplex Ethernet operation can double
the throughput of an existing system while eliminating rewiring
costs, as it doubles network speed from 10 Mbps to 20 Mbps.
Full-Duplex operation is a prerequisite to the interactive,
multimedia network applications of the future. In pursuit of this
goal, Cabletron Systems is participating in the standards process
with the Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet Consortium (FDSEC), to
create an industry standard that will allow various manufacturer’s
products to coexist in twisted pair and fiber optic networks which
will have an aggregate bandwidth of 20 Mbps.
When increased bandwidth is required, users with E2200 Series
adapters will be able to simply upgrade their shared-access
10BASE-T hubs to Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet hubs. No other
hardware changes will be required at the Network Interface
Controller (NIC) end of the Ethernet links to operate in Full
Duplex Switched Ethernet mode.
In order to provide a full-duplex service based on existing IEEE
802.3 architecture, these prerequisites must be met:
• The network fabric must be a switched-access medium.
• The physical media must provide two channels (Transmit and
Receive).
• The full-duplex 802.3 network must be run over shielded
twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or fiber
optic cable. A switching hub must be used (for three or more
nodes) to interconnect the full-duplex segments.
INTRODUCTION
Page 1 - 7
In order to implement FDSE, we must define three key
components: the operation of the MAC layer entity, the operation
of the MAU, or transceiver, and the operation of an Auto-Detection
mechanism (for Auto-Detect of FDSE).
The most important, and fundamental requirement for FDSE is
that FDSE technology be backward-compatible with standard
802.3 Ethernet technology.
1.4.2 MAC Layer
The Full Duplex Switched Ethernet MAC layer allows for the
simultaneous reception and transmission of 802.3 Ethernet frames.
The entire MAC layer provides separate processing paths for the
transmitter and receiver, including separate CRC generation and
checking. The decision to operate in full-duplex mode will be
made by the FDSE Auto-Detect mechanism.
1.4.3 MAU Operation
The MAU, or transceiver, will signal the MAC layer that FDSE
mode of operation is desired when either of two events occurs: a
“Hardware” register is set on the MAU, or an FDSE Auto-Detect
mechanism indicates that FDSE operation is desired, and switches
hardware to FDSE mode.
When the MAU detects that FDSE operation is desired, it will do
three things: disable the standard Ethernet Collision detector and
the collision LED, disable the loopback signal, and disable the SQE
signal.
These changes are required for the following reasons: collision is
impossible within FDSE, and future AUI transceivers will have
support for FDSE.
Page 1 - 8
INTRODUCTION
1.4.4 FDSE Cabling
FDSE will run on existing category 3 and category 4 UTP cabling.
There is no need to change cable media to upgrade to FDSE
technology.
However, for new wiring plant designs, category 5 cabling will
allow upgrading to 100 Mbps Ethernet operation in the future.
Category 5 UTP cable is specified for desktop wiring distances up
to 100 meters and data rates up to 100Mbps.
Two Technical System Bulletins (TSB) were issued by EIA/TIA
after ANSI EIA/TIA 586.
• TSB-36 classifies UTP cables into categories 3, 4, and 5, and
provides characteristic and performance values at particular
data rates.
• TSB-40 classifies connector hardware (punch-down blocks,
patch panels, wall jacks, etc.) into categories 3, 4, and 5, and
also provides characteristic and performance values at
particular data rates.
Anyone considering installing a new cable plant should consult all
three documents. They are available through your local EIA
publications office - call 1-800-854-7179.
Cabletron Systems is committed to delivering FDSE products in
strict conformance with industry standards and Cabletron’s
Integrated Network Architecture (INA).

CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION
This chapter contains instructions for preparing and installing
your Cabletron Systems E2200 Series Full-Duplex Ethernet
network adapter into your computer, and connecting the primary
media port to a twisted pair Ethernet segment. The next chapter,
Secondary Media
, provides instructions for connecting the
adapter’s secondary media port to various types of Ethernet
network segments.
2.1 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The E2200 Series adapters are designed for any computer that
supports ISA or EISA Bus architecture. Installation of the
Cabletron E2200 Series network adapters is simple and
straightforward.
2.1.1 Plug and Play Compatibility
The E2200 type Ethernet network adapters are “
Plug and Play
”
compatible. Plug and Play is most often implemented in the
computer’s system BIOS, or the operating system proper (as in
Microsoft Windows 95™).
Each E2200 Series adapter is shipped with a factory default
configuration stored in the adapter’s configuration EEPROM. If
the preset default Plug and Play parameters are not satisfactory for
your specific system requirements, and your system ’s Plug and
Play BIOS cannot resolve the conflict, contact Cabletron Technical
Support (See page 1-2,
Getting Help
).
Page 2 - 2
INSTALLATION
2.1.2 Unpacking the Adapters
The network adapter and software are shipped separately. The
hardware package should contain one box with a network adapter
and this manual.
The shrink-wrapped software package contains a
Network
Software Installation Guide,
and the Cabletron software diskette.
To unpack the adapter and the software, carefully remove the
adapter from the box. Leave the adapter in the conductive plastic
clamshell until you are ready to install it.
Open the shrink-wrapped package when you are ready to install
the software. Be sure to read the licensing agreement printed on
the back cover of the
Network Software Installation Guide
.
Contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support immediately if there
is any discrepancy in materials.
2.2 PREPARING THE ADAPTERS
The E2200 type network adapters do not have any jumpers or
switches to set. Each type of E2200 adapter is shipped with factory
default configuration information stored in EEPROM. You can use
Cabletron’s utility, QuickSet™, to change the default configuration
parameters, should it become necessary.
The network adapters are sensitive to static discharges. Hold
the adapter by the top of the metal bracket and the opposite top
corner. Avoid contact with the computer bus edge connector
or any of the adapter’s components. Failure to observe all
static precautions could result in damage to the adapter.
