  • Methods and apparatuses for dynamically switching network protocols for use in a printing device
    Publication number: 20070162662
    Abstract: A single Ethernet network adapter having both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps networking connections for dual network protocol modes is disclosed in one embodiment. The network adapter converts both 100 Mbps (100BASE-FX) and 10 Mbps (10BASE-FL) network protocols to a single common BASE-TX protocol. The network adapter can receive either of the two network protocol connections over a networking cable and has the ability to operate a printing device from either protocol. The network adapter senses whether 100 or 10 Mbps jacks are connected during operation and dynamically modifies conversion operations based thereon.
