FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
of a Class B computing devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
If you suspect this product is causing interference, turn your computer
on and off while your radio or TV is showing interference. If the
interference disappears then when you turn the computer off and reappears
then you turn the computer on, something in the computer is causing
interference.
You can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures :
1. Reorient/Relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit difference from that

Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter. This guide is
to provide the installation and usage of this adapter for network installers
and users. The 10/100 network adapter complies to PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 specification
and supports half/full- duplex feature which can double network speed.
This adapter supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps network speed, 100BaseTX operates
on two pairs of category 5 UTP cable and 10BaseT operates on Category 3, 4, 5 UTP
cable.
With the Auto-Negotiation technology, network speed is auto detected. When you
connect the adapter to 10BaseT hub via UTP cable, the network speed becomes 10Mbps.
Similarly, if you connect the adapter to 100BaseTX hub, the network speed is 100Mbps.
If the hub is a switching hub which supports full-duplex function, then the speed
will be doubled to 20Mbps/200Mbps.
Real hassle free installation is achieved by conforming to PCI bus.
Just plug in the card and all setup is done automatically. No more software to run !
This adapter supplies many drivers including NetWare Server 3.x/4.x/5.x, NetWare ODI
for DOS, NDIS driver for Windows 95 OSR2/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, Packet Driver and Linux.
Whatever your requirements are ease of installation, superior performance or responsive
support backed up by unlimited technical support, this adapter is the superior choice.

Chapter 3. Installation
(1) Hardware Installation
Follow the steps below to install the network adapter into your PC :
1. Turn off the computer and remove its cover.
2. Insert the adapter into a PCI slot.
3. Secure this adapter to the rear of the computer chassis and put back the
computer cover.
4. Connect the adapter to the network using twisted-pair cable.
(2) Hardware Requirement for Wake On LAN (for Wake On LAN Model Only)
1.If your motherboard support the PCI 2.1 only, then the motherboard must
provide a 3-pin WOL connector. (Some computers may require you to change a
setting in your computer's BIOS or setup program to enable the WOL feature.)
If the motherboard supports PCI 2.2, the 3-pin WOL connector isn't need.
(the function will be provided from the PCI bus directly )
2.ATX 2.01 power supply.
Note : Install only one active WOL adapter per computer. You can install
additional non-WOL adapters.
(3) Hardware Installation for Wake On LAN (for Wake On LAN Model Only)
If your motherboard supports the PCI 2.2 standard, no other procedure is needed.
But, you still can follow the steps (for PCI 2.1) below on the PCI 2.2
motherboard, and all the functions include the WOL will work normally.
If the motherboard supports PCI 2.1 only, please follow the next procedure,
1. Unpack the 3-pin auxiliary power cable.
2. Insert the 3-pin auxiliary power cable into the connector on the adapter.
3. Attach the 3-pin auxiliary power cable to the connector on the PC motherboard.
(4) Driver Installation
Use the drivers supplied by the diskette included in this product. For detail
description, please refer to readme.doc or readme.exe in the diskette provides
by this product.
Chapter 4. Trouble-shooting
If you experience any problems with the adapter, first make sure the appropriate driver
is loaded, the proper cable is connected to the adapter port and the hub complies with the
adapter specification, such as 10Mbps 10BaseT or 100Mbps 100BaseTX, then check the LED.
The adapter provides a LED to indicate network status.
** Link/Activity **
A LED indicates if the UTP port has been LINK ok or not. When the light is OFF, it
indicates that the UTP port has not been connected or LINK not ok. When the light is
ON, it indicates that the UTP port LINK ok. When the light is BLINKING, it indicates
that there is traffic flow on the network which the adapter is connected to.
( Wake On LAN : for Wake On LAN Model Only )
The PC can not boot up after installing the adapter.
1. Remove the 3-pin cable from the PC connector.
2. Boot up the PC, run setup program to configure the adapter as Active Low (Default
setting is Active High)
3. Turn off the PC and reconnect the 3-pin cable to the PC.
4. Boot up the PC again.
The PC does not boot up when a Magic Packet or Wake Up Frame is sent.
1. Check the specification of this PC meets the hardware requirement in chapter 2.
2. Verify the BIOS setting of Wake On LAN is configured properly. (Please check your
computer owner's manual or contact your dealer for more information.)
3. Remove the PC cover and check the 3-pin cable connection.
4. Run configure program to check the setting of this adapter.
5. If the adapter still does not wake up, install a known good working Wake On LAN adapter
and 3-pin auxiliary power cable in the PC and recheck the PC.
[!] Contact your dealer if problem persist.
