Dayna ships first single-port bridge to allow inexpensive connection of 10BASE-T-only devices to 100BASE-T LANs.SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 1996--Dayna Communications Inc. Tuesday began shipping the first single-port bridge to allow users to inexpensively connect their 10BASE-T-only devices to Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. LANs. The BlueStreak Fast EtherPrint 10/100, which has an estimated street price of $475, offers users a simple and affordable connection to 100BASE-T Ethernet that high-end, multiple-address bridges cannot supply. Fast EtherPrint is based on the concept of Dayna's popular EtherPrint product which changed the Ethernet industry in 1990 by allowing users to inexpensively connect slower, LocalTalk printers to newly emerging 10 Mbps Ethernet networks. Fast EtherPrint solves a similar problem common on today's Fast Ethernet networks by providing users an affordable way to connect printers and other 10BASE-T-only devices to 100BASE-T networks. Using proprietary technology, Fast EtherPrint allows any 10BASE-T device, independent of protocol, to be connected to a 100BASE-T workgroup or network segment without a complex bridge or router router Portable electric power tool used in carpentry and furniture making that consists of an electric motor, a base, two handle knobs, and bits (cutting tools). A router can cut fancy edges for shelving, grooves for storm windows and weather stripping, circles and ovals . Fast EtherPrint is perfect for users demanding inexpensive 100BASE-T connections for their 10BASE-T only printers, or fixed 10 Mbit devices. It is also well suited for mobile notebook users who need to connect to a 100BASE-T network. "Fast EtherPrint is the easiest and least expensive way to connect 10 Mbit devices to a Fast Ethernet network -- its plug-and-play design facilitates the connection of printers, network modems A modem shared by all users in a network. See network access server. , network CD-ROM jukeboxes See CD-ROM server. , image processors, and other devices with fixed 10 Mbit connections to Fast Ethernet," said William Kilmer, manager of Product Marketing at Dayna. "Fast EtherPrint provides users with an easy migration path from 10 Mbit Ethernet to 100 Mbit Ethernet. This has not been possible, until now, without the use of an expensive, multi-port bridge or switching hub A device that acts as a central switch or PBX, connecting one line to another. In a local area network (LAN), a switching hub gives any two stations on the network the full bandwidth of the line. ." Fast EtherPrint offers users a compact design measuring just 4 inches by 3 inches, plug-and-play functionality requiring no software setup or hardware configuration, protocol-independent bridging from 10 Mbit to 100 Mbit Ethernet, an RJ-45 jack for both 100BASE-T and 10BASE-T connections, a reset switch for easy re-powering, and diagnostic LEDs for link, transmit, and receive for both 10 Mbit and 100 Mbit speeds. Fast EtherPrint 10/100 is available now and ships with a full lifetime warranty.
