802.3 INTERFACE
The Wang 802.3 Interface enables a
Wang PC 200/300 Personal Com-
puter System to be connected to an
IEEE 802.3 compatible LAN, Once
connected to an 802.3 LAN, Wang
systems can communicate with other
Wang systems, via a Baseband or
Broadband cable plant including Wan··
gNet, using the WSN/CSN protocols,
as well as to non-Wang systems with
the appropriate and compatible proto-
cols, all over the 802.3 physical me-
dia.
The 802.3 Interface dis·~·Jssed in this
document is a 3Com EtherLink Plus
(Model 3C505] board. It is to be in-
stalled in an optional board slot in the
PC 200/300. The 3C505 contains an
on-board transceiver that allows for
direct connection to 10 Base 2 ''thin
wire" networks using RG-58 cable. An
AUi interface connector is also pro-
vided for connection to an external
transceiver on 10 Base 5 ''thick
wire" systems.
