Gigabit Fiber PCI Express Adapter

SC-Type

Please make sure that TX is plugged in to RX and RX is plugged in to TX. Also make sure that the device connecting to the TEG-ECSX is a gigabit device. The TEG-ECSX will not establish a link with a fast Ethernet device. ...

Gigabit Ethernet offers 1 Gigabit per second (1Gbps) which is 10 times faster than that of Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) and 100 times faster than that of Ethernet (10Mbps). Gigabit Ethernet is also referred to as the standard IEEE 802.3ab....

PCI Express is a recent addition to many new motherboards. PCI-E is replacing PCI which is currently going down in production along with AGP which is nearly extent. PCI-E offers a greater bandwidth than that of PCI and AGP. It is also structured different in that PCI used Bus and PCI-E uses seria...

Unfortunately you cannot use the card if you do not have PCI Express slots on your motherboard.

The PCI Express cards are 1.0a or PCI Express 1x.

The operating systems supported are Windows 2000/2000 Server/ XP (32- 64Bit)/2003 Server/ Vista (32-64Bit)....

Unfortunately the TEG-ECTX/ECSX are not available in half-height (low profile) format.

Both TEG-ECTX and TEG-ECSX do not support/accept boot ROM. TEG-ECTX/ECSX (version 1.1R) supports remote booting technology called PXE. PXE is explained in one of the frequently asked questions....

For the TEG-ECTX the cable needed is Cat-5, Cat-5e, or Cat-6. It is recommended to go with either the Cat-5e or Cat-6 since some Cat-5 cables do not support Gigabit. For the TEG-ECSX make sure to use either the 50/125μm or 62.5/125μm multi-mode fiber cable. ...

For the TEG-ECTX the Ethernet maximum cable is 100 meters. For the TEG- ECTX the multi-mode fiber maximum length is 550 meters....

Use TEG-ECTX if connection to the network switch is copper gigabit cable (IEEE 802.3ab standard). Use TEG-ECSX if connection to the network switch is using multimode fiber with SC connector (IEEE 802.3z standard)....

ACPI is an industry-standard specification interfaces enabling OS-directed configuration, power management, and thermal management of processor, motherboard, and devices on different computer platform....

Wake-On-LAN is an Ethernetcomputer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or woken up remotely by a network message called the Magic Packet.   The motherboard should be on ACPI G1 or G2 state (hibernating or sleep mode).  The network card must be on reserve power....

802.1Q VLAN Tagging is a mechanism or feature in networking to allow multiple bridged networks to transparently share the same physical network link without leakage of information between bridged networks. ...

802.1p Priority Tagging is a mechanism that provides network traffic class expediting and dynamic multicast filtering. For a network switch to be compliant, it must be capable of grouping incoming LAN packets into separate traffic classes. Essentially, it provides a mechanism for implementing Qualit...

802.3x Ethernet flow control is a mechanism for temporarily stopping the transmission of data on an Ethernetcomputer network. A situation may arise where a sending station (computer) may be transmitting data faster than some other part of the network (including the receiving station) can accept it. ...

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. A software component called an agent runs on each managed system and reports information via SNMP to the managing systems.  The TE...

PreBoot Execution Environment (PXE) is an environment to bootcomputers          using a network interface. The firmware on the client computer tries to locate a PXE         Server to receive a bootstrap program. This ensures that client computer can boot            appropriate software images using ...

Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1,500 bytes of payload. The use of an increased frame size means the same amount of data can be transferred with reduced CPU utilization due to interrupt reduction and results to increased data throughput....

No the TEG-ECTX/ECSX is not designed for extreme weather conditions.

The TEG-ECTX performs auto-negotiate from a 10/100/1000 connection. Therefore depending on the speed of the unit it is connected to, it will determine which of the three speeds it runs at. The TEG-ECSX is a fiber unit and only supports gigabit speed (1000Mbps)....

Depending on the complexity of your hardware, ensure that you are able to load the supported operating system driver. Contact TRENDnet for technical support and warranty policy....

Please check our supported operating system. For non supported operating system, contact TRENDnet for additional information....
