10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter User's Manual Thank you for purchasing our product! This guide contains information to install and configure the 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter for proper operation. The 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter is a 32-bit 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network interface card for PCI local bus-compliant PCs. It supports bus mastering architecture and auto-negotiation which make it possible to use one common RJ-45 port and standard twisted-pair cabling for both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps connection. Extensive driver support for commonly used network operating systems is also provided. Package Contents Carefully unpack the contents of the package and verify them against the checklist below. 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Driver Diskette (included User's Manual) Please inform your dealer immediately should there be any incorrect, missing or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use them again to repack the product in case there is a need to return it for repair. Back up your Driver Diskette and use the copy as the working diskette. Do this to protect the original from accidental damage. Hardware Description The 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter has a RJ-45 connector and two LED indicators. LED Indicators The adapter provides LED indicators for monitoring network conditions. This section describes the function of each LED. 100BASE-TX Status Indicator (100) Color : Green Function : Network connection indicator for 100 Mbps port This LED is used with 100BASE-TX only. It lights up to indicate that the port is operating at 100 Mbps. 10BASE-T Status LED Indicator (10) Color : Green Function : Network connection indicator for 10Mbps port This LED is used with 10Base-T only. If lights up to indicate that the port is operating at 10Mbps. Summary of LED Display During normal network operation, the adapter's LEDs display the following indications: Table 1.1 Summary of LED Indicators Media Type 10(Green) 100(Green) 100BASE-TX off on 10BASE-T on off Hardware Installation 1. Power off the PCI Local bus PC and remove its cover. Please refer to your computer's Installation Manual for instructions on how to remove the cover. 2. Select an available slot and plug in the adapter. The adapter provides a 32-bit bus interface. It plugs into any available PCI bus slot that supports Bus Master mode. Remove the bracket on the slot you've selected, then insert the adapter into the slot. Carefully push the adapter into the slot until all the edge connectors are firmly in place. Screw the adapter's face plate onto the opening in the back of the computer to secure the connection. Then replace the PC's cover. 3. Connect your adapter to the network. Connect the adapter to the network using twisted-pair cabling with an RJ-45 connector. 4. Power on the PC. After hardware installation has been completed, power on the computer. 5. Change your computer's BIOS setup to enable Bus Master mode and select an IRQ setting. The setup procedure and the terminology used when referring to Bus Master mode and IRQ parameters may vary with your computer's BIOS. Some BIOS have Bus Master mode enabled for all the motherboard's PCI expansion slots, while others provide the option to turn this feature on or off. Refer to your computer's installation manual for more information. Please see the following section on Adapter Configuration for related information. 6. Install the software driver. For related topics see the section on Software Drivers later in this chapter. Adapter Configuration The adapter is configured using the host PCI computer's BIOS setup program. This is done by changing the computer's BIOS setting to enable bus master mode, and then setting up the IRQ. The procedure to implement this and the terminology used depend on the BIOS you are using. Some BIOS have Bus Master mode enabled for all the motherboard's PCI expansion slots; others provide the option of turning this feature on or off. For example, if your computer uses the Phoenix BIOS, there is a "Device Select" field where you should input the slot number of the PCI slot where the adapter is installed, say "Slot 3 Device." Then for the fields that read as "Enable Device" and "Enable Master" you should change the settings to "Enabled." The same is true for the adapter's IRQ setting, which is mapped to the BIOS IRQ setup of the host PCI computer. Finally, you need to set the Trigger/Routing field to select the Trigger method by which the IRQ is assigned or routed to the PCI slot. There are three types of settings to choose from: * Level/Auto - This is usually the default. Choosing this option leaves the assigned IRQ free for other use if the installed card does not use it. * Level/Forced - If you are not able get the PCI card to work properly, choose this option. This will assign the specified IRQ permanently to the card. * Edge/Auto - Some PCI boards support this option. Do not use it for this card. Note : The PCI adapters can only function with the EMM386.exe memory manager program version 4.49 or later. You can verify its version number by entering EMM386 at the DOS Prompt. Do not specify the "highscan" option with the EMM386.exe statement in your config.sys file or your system will hang. If you run MEMMAKER and select Custom Setup, do not specify "Aggressively scan upper memory", or it will automatically insert the HIGHSCAN flag into the EMM386 command line. This parameter cannot be manually removed once it's installed, doing so will cause the extended memory manager to malfunction.
