Ethernet, Token Ring,

Ethernet and Token
Ring adapters include
matching Modular
Media Units.
Modular Media
Units are all

Adapters connect to

printer port—no
internal cards needed!
Support or all types o
parallel ports.
N
o matter where you go, you
can connect your notebook to
an Ethernet or a Token Ring LAN
regardless of the cabling system,
topology, or operating system,
thanks to Modular Parallel
Adapters and Modular Media
Units.
Installation is easy—there
are no jumpers or configuration
switches to set. You can even use
the adapters for workstations that
have a limited number of internal
expansion slots.
Modular Parallel Adapters
connect externally to your PC’s
parallel printer port, eliminating
the need to install internal cards.
The adapters support all types of
parallel ports, including PS/2®,
unidirectional, bidirectional, and
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP).
All Ethernet or Token Ring
adapters come with one of
several types of Modular Media
Units preattached to the network
end. Each Modular Media Unit is
No matter the cabling or topology,

KeyFeatures
MODULARPARALLELADAPTERSANDMEDIAUNITS
designed for a different interface
or set of interfaces. This enables
an Ethernet or Token Ring adapter
to be the connection point for
several common media types.
And because the Modular Media
Units are interchangeable, you
can substitute one unit for
another to connect an adapter
to any cable types!
Our Ethernet adapters natively
support 10BASE-T on unshielded
twisted pair, 10BASE2 on ThinNet,
and 10BASE5 AUI.
Token Ring adapters natively
support Type 3 cabling.
The ARCNET adapter supports
coax and twisted-pair
connections simultaneously.
We even have a combination
adapter for Token Ring that
supports Type 1 and Type 3
cabling—you can swap the two
included Modular Media Units as
necessary!
All adapters provide
diagnostics and self-testing.
They support parallel ports LPT1
through LPT , interrupt lines IRQ7
and IRQ5, as well as polling mode
when no interrupt line is available.
In addition, the adapters
automatically select unidirectional
or bidirectional mode.
Most of our adapters are
powered by an included external
wallmount supply. However, two
Ethernet models (LE073A-R2,
LE07 A-R2) include a 6-pin mini-
DIN cable that connects the
adapters to your computer’s
keyboard port to draw power.
For DOS-only applications,
you’ll want our Modular Parallel
Mux (LE170). It enables you to
attach an adapter and a local
printer to the same parallel port
on your PC. That means flexibility
and savings, so you can keep
your reliable system going and
going.

You’ll certainly need one or more of these Modular Parallel Adapters
if you’re going on the road any time soon. They’re particularly handy for
trade-shows demonstrations or conducting on-site consultations or
training.
TypicalApplication
Recognize any of these
situations?
• You wait more than 30
minutes to get through to a
vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t
help you or gives you the
wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase
order number and the tech
refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p.m. and you need help,
but your vendor’s tech
support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data
Communications magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed
say that getting the technical
support they need is extremely
important when choosing a
vendor. But even though network
managers pay anywhere from 10
to 20% of their overall purchase
price for a basic service and
support contract, the technical
support and service they receive
falls short of their expectations—
and certainly isn’t worth what
they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee
the best value and the best
support. You can even consult
our Technical Support Experts
before you buy if you need help
selecting just the right component
for your application.

money—call Black Box today.
