1.4 Using this Manual
The next section gives step by step use instructions for each function. If
you are unfamiliar with network and internet terminology, read over the
Glossary of Networking Terms and Internet Protocol Denition sections
beginning on page 18.
For detailed description of each function, see the Functional Description
section. Interpreting Cable Test Results and Error Messages sections are
useful reference sections.
1.5 Network Connectivity
The LanScaper™ uses IP address protocol and recognizes Auto-
Negotiation using Fast Link Pulses to report advertised Ethernet
capability. LanScaper™ also supports a modied version of auto MDI/
MDI-X to allow for connection to a HUB, switch or NIC with a straight
through cable. The LanScaper™ operates using 10 base-T for all
network transmissions. The vast majority of 100 base-T Fast Ethernet
products support 10 base-T. However, should a HUB or switch be 100
base-T only through settings or by design, a different port, a change
of settings or insertion of an inexpensive 10/100 HUB in line with the
LanScaper™ will be necessary.
