LF560MX

10/100M Fast Ethernet
V.90/K56flex 56K Fax/Modem
Multifunction PC Card

Connecting to Your LAN and WAN in One PC Card

The perfect solution for your LAN/WAN applications in one PC card. The
16-bit PC-Card LF560MX multifunction adapter combines both 10/100M
dual speed Fast Ethernet and power of V.90/K56flex dual mode 56K
fax/modem that lets you perform multiple communication tasks at the same
time. The LF560MX lets you dial into any on-line services, ISPs through
highest 56 (up-stream)/33.6 (down-stream) Kbps fax/modem, and hook up
to Ethernet with easy plugging in RJ-45 cable. You can run both LAN +
fax/modem function simultaneously that makes your applications convenient
and saves your limited PCMCIA slot resource. With the tightly integrated
networking and fax/modem communications, the users do not need to juggle
multiple cards for concurrent use of LAN and WAN, and the detachable
interface connectors get the real convenience of two cards in one.

Broad Wide Compatibility

LF560MX is ready to run with the latest 32-bit Network Operating System
(NOS) like Windows 98, Windows 95 and Windows NT. The included
NOS drivers ensure the compatibility to the widely used networking
environments, such as Novell Netware, Microsoft LAN Manager, TCP/IP,
and more.

The broad Card and Socket Services (CSS) compatibility also makes the user
trouble-free for their Internet and Intranet connections. For those who
prefer not to us CSSes, LF560TX includes a point enabler for the
multifunction card. Moreover the fantastic features of 10/100M auto­negotiation and V.90/K56flex auto-sensing cleans away the backward
compatible troubles.
