Built-in Network Interfaces

* The motherboard interface may not work without network services using this interface. If you experience difficulties, configure AppleTalk services to use this interface while capturing.

** The PowerBook G3 Series is the PowerBook G3 with the large, white Apple logo on the outside. See PowerBook Internal Network Cards section for older PowerBook G3 based on the PowerBook 3400.

*** If running Satellite from a machine with a single Ethernet interface that is not a PCI interface, remove MacTCP (if installed) from the Control Panels folder. If using Open Transport, redirect TCP/IP and AppleTalk Control Panels to a network option other than the one from which you are capturing (or make them inactive).

Mac OS 8.0 and Slot 0: To use Satellite with the built-in interface on a PCI desktop machine under MacOS 8.0, you must first run the Satellite Mac OS 8.0 Compatibility Patch This patch is not needed for MacOS 8.1 or later.

PCI bus Network Cards

Listed PCI cards can be used in the following machines with PCI slots:

• Apple PowerPC 72xx, 73xx, 75xx, 76xx, 82xx, 85xx, 86xx, 95xx, 96xx, Desktop G3s
• Most PowerComputing, UMAX, Motorola & other clones

The following models (with Alchemy motherboards or CommSlot II slots) also require EtherPeek Stellite 2.0 or later:

• PowerPC 44xx, 54xx, 55xx, 6360, 64xx, 65xx
• PowerComputing PowerBase series
• UMAX 500/600

* The only fully supported AsanteFast PCI Ethernet card is the currently shipping 99-00590-07 version, with 2.2 driver. For information on identifying your AsanteFast Ethernet card, please see our knowledge base.

** Must not have network services on this card with Satellite, or you may lose network services or the machine may lock up. Configuring AppleTalk and TCP/IP to use another interface will avoid the problem.

PowerBook Internal Network Cards

* Requires Satellite 1.2.1 or later. In order to use the factory-supplied internal card that is shipped with all domestic versions of the PowerBook 3400 and G3 for Satellite\'s packet capture, you must be running Mac OS 8.1. International customers with the PowerBook G3 and 3400 must be running MacOS 8.5.

** This PowerBook G3 is the older PowerBook G3 based on the PowerBook 3400. It has a small, six-color Apple logo on the outside. See Built-In Network Interfaces section for the newer PowerBook G3 Series.

Network CardBus PC Cards (PCMCIA) for PowerBook G3 Series

Network PC Cards (PCMCIA)for PowerBook 2400, 3400, G3

Network PC Cards (PCMCIA)for PowerBook 190, 1400, 5300

For PowerBook 190 & 5300 there is a direct-slot option available from Focus Enhancements called the MV16-EN, which provides 10baseT Ethernet and 16-bit video output capabilities. Must use the 1.0.4 driver. The 2.0 driver recommended by Focus Enhancements for system 7.6 does not yet support promiscuous capture. Many customers are using the 1.0.4 driver with system 7.6 successfully.

Nubus Ethernet Network Cards

* If running Satellite from a machine with a single Ethernet interface that is not a PCI interface, remove MacTCP (if installed) from the Control Panels folder. If using Open Transport, redirect TCP/IP and AppleTalk Control Panels to a network option other than the one from which you are capturing (or make them inactive).

NuBus/PDS/CS/DUO Cards

This is a partial list of interfaces supported by Satellite with modular Hardware interface files.

Note: If running Satellite from a machine with a single Ethernet interface that is not a PCI interface, remove MacTCP (if installed) from the Control Panels folder. If using Open Transport, redirect TCP/IP and AppleTalk Control Panels to a network option other than the one from which you are capturing (or make them inactive).

No CommSlot II cards are supported at this time. The following machines are often purchased with a CommSlot II card installed. Currently, in order to operate Satellite from these machines, version 1.2.1 or later and a supported PCI card are required.

• PowerPC (or Performa) 44xx, 54xx, 55xx, 6360, 64xx, 65xx
• UMAX 500, 600

We do not support SCSI adapters with Satellite.
