INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet Card, the value
leader among Fast Ethernet adapters for PCI Bus personal computers.
This Introduction chapter will be useful if you are new to Fast Ethernet and
other new technology featured by the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet Card.
Otherwise, skip ahead to the Installation chapter.

About Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802.3u. It
extends the traditional 10Mbps Ethernet technology to achieve 100Mbps
transmission and reception, while retaining the same CSMA/CD Ethernet
protocol. Thus while Fast Ethernet provides a tenfold increase in network
capacity, it is wholly compatible with traditional 10Mbps Ethernet network
facilities.

About Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation is an IEEE 802.3 procedure of negotiating the highest data
flow capability between the device (in this case, our Adapter) and their links
partner (some other device). The data flow information, to be negotiated,
consists of the data speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps) and data transfer (half-duplex
or full-duplex communication).
The physical process of auto-negotiation requires only a few milliseconds to
choose the fastest communications capability between the two devices.

About WOL (for WOL model only)
WOL (Wake-On-LAN) is an ACPI function allowing a powered OFF computer to be
powered ON from a remote station.
ACPI (Advanced Configuration Power Interface) is a new technology and an open
industry specification to provide power management support systems through
hardware and operating system cooperation.
To use the WOL feature, the NIC must be WOL capable and the motherboard of the
PC (for which the card is installed) must be of ACPI architecture. While the
powered OFF computer sleeps, the WOL NIC monitors LAN traffic for valid Wake-
up frames. The NIC will determine whether a received Wake-up frame is addressed
to the PC. If so, the NIC will send a signal to the motherboard to power ON the
computer.

What is the utility in the WOL card?
1) "I forgot a document and I'm out of town?"
   Send a Wake-up signal to your computer and transfer the needed file to your
   location.
2) Initiate long routines and reports before you get to work.
3) Transfer files when the network traffic is low (during late hours).
4) Power ON your PC before you arrive to work.
WOL has great utility in power management of PCs, workstations, and kiosks.

Product Featues
Designed for versatility and performance, the 32-bit PCI bus 10/100Mbps Fast
Ethernet Adapter
provides the following features:
1) Wake-On-LAN (WOL) provides great utility for power management of PC.
2) Operates in a PCI Bus Master slot of a Pentium/ Pentium-Pro/ Pentium-II
   computer, independent of CPU speed.
3) PCI Bus Master memory access, for high throughput and low CPU demand.
4) Plug and Play installation.
5) 100Mbps Fast Ethernet or 10Mbps Ethernet data transfer, selected via
   auto-negotiation.
6) Full-duplex or half-duplex operation, selected by auto-negotiation.
7) Built-in FIFO buffers reduce overhead of memory transfers.
8) Drivers for all leading Network Operating Systems.
9) Two LED indicators: Link, Activity.
   a) LINK Indicator
      A steady green LED indicates good linkage between the 32-bit PCI bus
      10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter and its supporting hub.
   b) ACTIVITY Indicator
      A flashing green LED indicates that the adapter is sending or receiving
      data.

INSTALLATION
Installation of a 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet Card requires Hardware
installation first, then BIOS and Software installation.
Hardware Installation
1. Trun OFF the computer, unplug its power cord and open the computer case.
2. Insert the contact edge of the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Fast Ethernet Card into
   the connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press the card
   firmly into the connector and ascertain that the card contacts are fully
   seated in the connector.
3. For WOL model, connect the WOL cable to the NIC WOL connector. Both ends of
   the WOL cable are identical, so either and may be used.
4. Install the bracket screw, which secures the card to the cinouter chassis.
5. Replace the computer's case and connect the network cable to newly installed
   network card. Reconnect the computer's power cord and plug it into the power
   outlet.


BIOS Configuration
Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs, it happens occasionally that
a newly installed adapter is assigned an Interrupt Number which is already
assigned to another device.  In such a case, the conflict of Interrupt Number
will cause faults in the behavior of both devices. Then it is necessary to run
the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-conflicting Interrupt Number.

Driver Installation
Before you connect the 10/100Mbps PCI bus Card to the network, you have to
install the network driver first. The driver for each networking operating
system is under a separate directory. A HELPME.COM file under root directory
lists the information and detailed installation procedure of all the available
drivers.

Boot ROM Installation
The optional Boot ROM device allows you to connect a diskless workstation to
the network. Perform the following steps to install your Boot ROM device:
1. Insert the Boot ROM into the socket on the Card.
2. Refer to the installation procedure provided by networking operating system.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience any problems with the adapter, first verify that the
appropriate driver is loaded, that the proper grade of cable is employed for
the network connection, and that the supporting hub is functioning properly.
1) Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and firmly seated in the slot
   connector.
2) Check the length and rating of connecting cables.
3) Ascertain that the adapter's PCI slot is not deactivated at the BIOS level.
   The CMOS Setup utility in PCI computers ordinarily provides the option to
   activate or deactivate PCI slots.
4) Replace the adapter in question with a verified adapter and run RSET8139.EXE
   diagnostic tests on the sofrware diskette at directory of \DIAG\.
5) Install the questioned adapter in another PCI computer and run the tests
   again. Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer and run the tests
   again. If the verification/diagnostic run is not normal, then there is
   probably an interrupt number conflict which will have to be resolved
   manually by a CMOS Setup utility run after you have reinstalled all of the
   expansion cards.
