Introduction
The Asanté EtherPaC 2000+ adapter is a jumperless Ethernet Network Inter-
face controller (NIC) that connects a personal computer with an Industry-
Standard Architecture (ISA) bus to an Ethernet network. The EtherPaC
2000+3 model has three connectors: UTP, AUI, and BNC. The EtherPaC
2000+T model has two connectors: UTP and AUI.
∆ This manual will refer to three connectors throughout,
although the card you’re using may have only two con-
nectors.
It operates in either 8- or 16-bit slots. The adapter is designed to comply with
the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard.
When installing the adapter into a personal computer, there are three con-
nectors provided for the user to attach the computer to the network
through different media. The user may select RJ45 to connect to 10BASE-T
Ethernet, BNC to connect to 10BASE-2 Ethernet, or AUI to connect to
10BASE-5 Ethernet. The adapter can work with all software drivers for Nov-
ell NE2000 adapters, including NetWare ODI and Microsoft’s LAN Manager,
Microsoft’s Windows for Workgroups and TCP/IP, etc.
