About Nortel Networks Ethernet Media
The Nortel Networks Ethernet/802.3 interface supports IEEE 802.3 and Version
1.0/2.0 Ethernet frame formats. Ethernet circuits use carrier sense multiple access
with collision detection (CSMA/CD) to manage access to the physical media in a
baseband LAN.
10BASE-T interfaces operate at 10 megabits/second (Mb/s) over twisted wire or
coaxial cable. 100BASE-T interfaces (sometimes called Fast Ethernet) operate at
100 Mb/s. Refer to the Bay Networks Guide to Understanding 100BASE-T for
detailed information.
