Department Funding Options

	Port Connection $200.00**** New NAM Installation $400.00 Add 10BASE-T Splitter** $50.00 (Note: If port connection needed, splitter and port = $250) Activation Fee*** $60.00****

Please note that some of these NAMs cannot be modified due to conflicting service on a particular NAM.

** NAMs that could have a 10BASE-T Splitter added MUST BE four-pair data NAMs that are numbered in the following ranges: 75300-79999, 60000-69999.
When a splitter is added, an additional port connection ($200) is required.

*** Activation fee refers to post Network 21 cutover to activate connections not connected at cutover time.
**** NAM installations require a $200 per port connection charge and a $60 activation fee per NAM.

Advantages/Disadvantages

Option	Ideal Use	Advantages	Disadvantages
Add Splitter	Two 10BaseT connections needed within same room, 100BaseT not needed for 3-5 years, and a 4 pair data NAM exists	Provides two 10BaseT connections  Does not require pulling new cable  Less expensive than two individual NAMs	Not 100BaseT capable  Only applies to 4 pair data NAMs numbered 75300-79999 and 60000-69999
Add New NAM	Not enough 10BaseT ready NAMs and no modifiable NAMs exist, and dedicated 10MB service is required or migration to 100BaseT is anticipated in the near future	Provides one 10BaseT connections  100BaseT capable, cat 5 compliant  Can be combined with Splitter to yield two 10BaseT connections  Provides greatest growth potential with lowest life cycle cost	High initial cost

Allocation Guide - June 1996 - Historical Perspectives of Network 21 NAM Allocation

1. All workstations or printers identified as "On 10BASE-T Now" from the May 96 NAM Need Survey that have a direct connection from the workstation or the printer to a NAM get a Network 21 port connection. Some departments responded to the May 96 NAM Need Survey incorrectly by identifying workstations or printers connnected with 10BASE-T via a dumb hub in the room as "On 10BASE-T Now" instead of "On Other Media Now". Recent field checks have corrected those responses. Port connections will be provided for 10BASE-T NAMs installed as a result of projects that were in progress or submitted as of June 1, 1996.

Network 21 Project Funding Will Provide for Each Room:

Note A: Existing printers or workstations that have a direct connection to a NAM each get a Network 21 port connection via the existing 10BASE-T Ready NAM.
