ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connection system for use in a communications card for interfacing a media connector of an unknown media with a computer is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the connection system facilitates the physical coupling of either an RJ-11 jack or an RJ-45 jack of the media connector into the same retractable jack of a PCMCIA card. Upon the physical coupling of the media connector, the connection system of the present invention evaluates the signal characteristics to determine which type from among a group of supported media types is coupled through the media connector. The connection system of the communications card conforms to the media standard and supports that standard through any communications transpiring therebetween. Typical media standards supported by the preferred embodiment of the present invention include PSTN, ISDN, Ethernet and wireless transceivers.
