Ethernet is the most popular LAN technology in use today. The IEEE standard
802.3 defines the rules for configuring an Ethernet network. It is a 10 Mbps,
CSMA/CD baseband network that runs over thin coax, thick coax, or twisted
pair cable.
The Ethernet option makes your RT2000 ATM LAN (Local Area Network) or
WAN (Wide Area Network) capable. The ATM functions that are normally per-
formed via the dial-up telephone system, such as customer transactions and remote
monitoring, can now be performed using existing in-house communications net-
work. ATM transaction processing and hardware monitoring functions are per-
formed across a shared network medium. Ethernet is popular because it strikes a
good balance between speed, cost and ease of installation. These benefits, com-
bined with wide acceptance in the computer marketplace and the ability to support
virtually all popular network protocols, make the Ethernet option an ideal network-
ing solution for your RT2000 ATM.
