1000 Mbps Gigabit CardBus Adapter GA511.

About the NETGEAR 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit CardBus

Adapter GA511

Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR® GA511 Gigabit CardBus Adapter. The

GA511 connects your CardBus notebook to a Gigabit Ethernet network, incorporating a new

technology that transfers data at a rate of 1 Gbps or 1000 megabits per second (Mbps) over

standard Category 5 cables. Performance is optimized and network overhead on the host system is

minimized with the use of the GA511 Gigabit CardBus Adapter. This guide describes the

installation and use of the GA511 for operation with a Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows®

2000, Windows® Me, or Windows® 98SE 2nd edition system.

The GA511 has demonstrated interoperability with all major Gigabit Ethernet equipment on the

market that is compliant with IEEE 802.3ab standards and should work with most non-compliant

Gigabit Ethernet products. In addition, because the GA511 uses standard Ethernet frame and

Media Access Control (MAC) formats, it provides full compatibility with Fast Ethernet network

equipment through network switches from a variety of vendors, including NETGEAR®.

The NETGEAR 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit CardBus Adapter GA511 is a 32-bit,

high-performance adapter that allows any CardBus-equipped computer to connect to an Ethernet

or Fast Ethernet network. The Model GA511 supports hot-swapping, allowing you to insert and

remove it as necessary, without having to turn off or reset your PC.

2-2 Introduction

CardBus Support

CardBus is a 32-bit bus-mastering architecture that operates at PCI local-bus speeds of up to 33

MHz, yielding a peak bandwidth of 132 MB/sec. Unlike 16-bit PC Cards, which operate at slower

ISA bus speeds of 8 MHz using an ISA-like asynchronous protocol, CardBus provides a fast 32-bit

multiplexed address/data path that allows full access to gigabit Ethernet's bandwidth.

By utilizing internal bus speeds, CardBus can operate at speeds six times faster than a 16-bit PC

Card and five times faster than a 100 Mbps PC Card. In addition, CardBus PC cards operate at 3.3

Volts, saving power and conserving your PC's battery life.

Bus-Mastering Capability

Model GA511 features leading-edge bus-mastering capabilities to optimize throughput while

maintaining low CPU utilization. Bus mastering allows the GA511 to assume control of your PC's

system bus, accelerating data transfers. 16-bit PC Cards, by comparison, act as a bus slave and

pass data through the CPU before sending it to the host system. This slows data transfers and strain

your PC's processor.

Frame Priority Tagging for Virtual LANs

The GA511 is 802.1Q/1p-compliant for frame priority tagging. The IEEE 802.1Q standard defines

the operation of Virtual LAN (VLAN) bridges that permit the definition, operation and

administration of VLAN topologies within a bridged LAN infrastructure. Using the GA511 with

802.1p-compliant switches or routers offers a range of traffic prioritization of Layer 2 frames,

providing a higher quality of service on high-speed local area networks.
