What Is An Ethernet Adapter?

University Housing - The University of Iowa
It is an expansion card placed in a computer to support the ethernet network protocol across digital communications lines.

Where Do I Get An Ethernet Adapter or 10BaseT Ethernet Dropcord?

University Housing - The University of Iowa
If you are purchasing a new PC, you should order it with an ethernet adapter pre-installed. If you already own a computer and it does not have an ethernet adapter pre-installed, we suggest purchasing a 3Com 10/100 Etherlink adapter. Laptop users can purchase a comparable PCMCIA card. Ethernet adapters are available for purchase through the IMU Bookstore or from local vendors. The ResNet system was designed for the use of a 3-meter patch cable (also referred to as a dropcord).

What is the throughput of the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is designed to "keep up" with the channel for unacknowledged uplink messages. This means that the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter can pass up to 180 - 200 unacknowledged messages per second uplink from the FTT channel to the LNS or OpenLDV PC. Acknowledged service is slower. However, the performance is asymmetric. Downlink unacknowledged messages are limited to approximately 21 - 22 per second.

JacORB is using the wrong Ethernet adapter address. What should I do?

Support - Frequently Asked Questions - The ACE ORB
You can inform JacORB which Ethernet adapter to use by specifing it in the jacorb.properties file (it could also be passed in on the command line). Just set the OAIAddr property to the IP address that you want JacORB to use. For example, on my Windows98 machine which has a DSL modem, JacORB was using the adapter Ethernet address 5.0.0.4 instead of the true public IP address. I modified OAIAddr property and everything worked fine.

What is the difference between the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter and the i. LON 100 Internet Server?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is a single function device, it acts as a Remote Network Interface (RNI) and nothing more. It was designed to provide complete LonWorks connectivity at the lowest possible price. The i.LON 100 Internet Server can also act as a remote network interface (RNI), but has additional capabilities, including built-in applications for scheduling, data logging, and alarm processing. The i.

What is the difference between an SLTA-10 and an i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter connects to the PC via 10 BaseT Ethernet. The SLTA-10 connects to the PC via RS-232. Both the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter and SLTA-10 can connect to the PC via modem. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter uses TCP/IP when directly connected and PPP when connected via modem which allows the use of intervening Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The SLTA-10 uses a proprietary serial link protocol which is not supported by ISPs. Performance is roughly equal.

Can the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter serve web pages?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Only for configuration purposes. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter cannot provide network variable values in a web page. The i.LON 100 can access network variables through web pages.

What type of security is built into the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
HTTP access (used to set configuration) may be limited or disabled. If disabled, you must have physical access to the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter to change its operating parameters.

Can I use the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with a dial-up (telephone) connection?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter (version 2.x and higher, available from April 2004) supports an external modem attached to its serial port. When used with an external modem, the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter uses PPP as the serial protocol. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter version 1.x does not support PPP.

Why isn't the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter "Cisco Certified"?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Cisco has discontinued the Cisco NetWorksT. It is no longer possible to "Cisco certify" products.

What processor and operating system is used by the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter uses an 8032 processor working in conjunction with a Neuron® 3120® Chip. The operating system is proprietary. Cost. The primary design consideration for the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter was to provide a device to allow full and complete access to LonWorks networks (network variables, network management, explicit messages, configuration properties, network diagnostics - everything) at the lowest possible price.

Can I use the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with a wireless network?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. There are several manufacturers of 10/100 BaseT Ethernet to wireless bridges. One example is the LinkSys WET11 Ethernet bridge.

Can I use the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with a dsl or cable modem?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but you would have to implement the equivalent of Echelon's xDriver software. The best choice for using the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter without LNS is to use Echelon's OpenLDV driver. It is available free of charge at www.echelon.com/openLDV. Yes, though the algorithm differs from the i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server. This question is usually asked when trying to figure out how much bandwidth an i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter might consume on an Ethernet segment. For example, if the i.

Can I use a USB to Ethernet adapter to connect the USB modem to my network?

thinkbroadband :: Broadband FAQ
With the current adapters you cant, the USB modem is the DSL equivalent of a WinModem and requires some processor power to perform the modem functions and convert the ATM data into TCP/IP for presentation to the PC. There is a Draytek device however which can effetively act as a router and presents ethernet to the user side. See details here.

During my installation I'm being prompted to install a new Ethernet adapter, which should I chose?

FAQ's
None, actually. Cancel out of your installation, reboot, and start the install again. This is a very rare install bug.

I have a modem that I use for e-mail at home. Should I get an Ethernet adapter?

IIT Documentation - Resnet FAQ
Ethernet connection is up to 100 times faster than a modem connection and allows access to printers and fileservers, unlike a modem. Also, you would have to obtain an outside Internet System Provider (ISP) at a cost. With a modem connection you have to wait for an open modem line; with an Ethernet connection the network is always there for you to use, and it doesn't tie up your phone line. Ethernet Adapter: (or "Ethernet card"): Also called a network interface card (NIC).

Can I select a different adapter while TracePlus/Ethernet is running?

FAQ
You can switch between different installed network adapters on your PC while TracePlus is running by using the Select Network Adapter option on the Settings menu in the Network Statistics window . If you are currently running a capture, then the Select Network Adapter option will not be available. If the Select Network Adapter option is grayed out, locate the active Capture window and stop the Capture by pressing the Stop button on the toolbar.

Why is my card detected as an ethernet adapter instead of an Airport card?

FAQ - iwidarwin - Google Code
This is normal and to be expected. We wrote the driver this way because the IO80211Family is closed source and not well documented. There is more information available for "wired" adapters in Mac OS. The basic networking functions of your card will be handled by the OS, while wireless features are controlled with our NetworkSelector and nsGui utilities. Both utilities are currently under development and therefore are not expected to be fully operational.
