- EtherWave Provides Flexible Ethernet Connectivity for Power Macintosh Computers
-
- ALAMEDA, Calif., March 28, 1994--Farallon Computing, Inc., the leading
- supplier of an innovative family of plug-and-play networking software and
- hardware today announced a special EtherWave offer for new Power Macintosh
- owners. Award-winning Farallon EtherWave transceivers provide the most
- flexible 10BASE-T Ethernet connectivity for Apple Power Macintosh computers.
- The daisy-chainable EtherWave products provide Power Macintosh users with an
- inexpensive method to quickly connect to existing Ethernet networks.
-
- Each Power Macintosh 6100, 7100 and 8100 is equipped with a built-in Apple AUI
- (AAUI) Ethernet port, enabling users to easily attach the CPU directly to a
- 10BASE-T Ethernet network with a Farallon EtherWave AAUI Transceiver. The
- EtherWave AAUI Transceiver provides a Power Macintosh user with access to
- printers, servers and other network computer users to take full advantage of
- Ethernet speed and performance. Each EtherWave transceiver features two
- 10BASE-T RJ-45 ports to allow for daisy-chain configuration. Two devices, such
- as a desktop Power Macintosh and a mobile PowerBook, can be connected to a
- single network hub port, eliminating the need to pull additional wire to an
- office or cubicle.
-
- "EtherWave is perfect for Power Mac users because it provides immediate
- connectivity to Ethernet networks and guarantees future network expandability
- without requiring extra hub capacity and cabling," said Steve Bauman, Farallon
- vice president of product marketing and development.
-
- A Special Offer on the Quickest Way to Network a Power Macintosh
-
- Farallon is extending a special EtherWave offer to the early buyers of the new
- Power Macintosh computers. Power Macintosh customers in the United States and
- Canada who present proof of purchase to Farallon before June 30, 1994 are able
- to purchase up to two Farallon EtherWave AAUI Transceivers for only U.S.$89
- each (a $129 value). Customers will be responsible for applicable sales tax,
- shipping and handling. Power Macintosh customers should contact Farallon
- Customer Service at telephone 800-759-7761 ext. 1.
-
- Farallon EtherWave Technology
-
- Farallon EtherWave technology lets Power Macintosh users connect to either a
- hub port or another networked device, decreasing network installation time,
- simplifying network set-up and lowering the cost of expanding a 10BASE-T
- network. Flexible EtherWave is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T
- specifications for Ethernet, enabling users to attach to standards-based
- networks more quickly and easily than with other networking methods.
