Introduction
============
ESL-835-TB is a 32-bit high performance Ethernet PCI Local Bus adapter to
be used with IBM PC/AT and compatible with PCI local-bus slave slot. It 
supports the jumperless bus and media configuration.The ESL-835-TB software
drivers are backwards-compatible to the existing Novell NE2000 adapters for
all the leading network environments.


Package Contents 
================
* ESL-835-TB Adapter 
* ESL-835-TB Driver Diskette
* BNC T-connector
* ESL-835-TB User's Guide


LED Indicators
==============
There is one LED indicator on the rear bracket for tracking network 
operation and diagnosing problems with the network cable. 

GREEN (Link) 10Base-T cabling only.

The LED remains on when cable link integrity is good.


Making Network Connections
==========================
* Thin Coaxial Cable Installation

Thin coaxial cable uses the BNC port on the rear bracket. To make the 
connection, follow the steps described below

Step 1 Make sure the power to your computer is off to avoid
       damage to both the computer and the network interface card.
Step 2 Connect the T-connector onto the BNC port on the
       card, then connect one end of the T-connector to the network cable. 
       If the station is being added to the middle of the network trunk 
       cable, connect the other end of the T-connector to the remainder of 
       the trunk cable. If the station is being added to the end of the 
       trunk cable, connect a 50-ohm terminator to the free end of the 
       T-connector.

Max. Segment Length: 185 meters 
Max. Number of Nodes per Segment: 30 
Max. Network Cable Length: 925meters
Min. Distance Between Two Network Cards: 0.5 meter 



* Twisted-Pair Cable Connection

Twisted-Pair cable is used in conjunction with the RJ-45 modular plug on 
the rear bracket. To make the connection, perform the two steps described 
as follows 

Step 1 Make sure the power to your computer is off to avoid damage to both
       the computer and the network interface card.
Step 2 Using the RJ-45 plug and twisted-pair cable, connect the network 
       interface card to a 10BASE-T hub (con- centrator). Note that the 
       maximum cable length be- tween a 10BASE-T hub and any computer is
       100 meters.

Max. Nodes per Concentrator: Depends on Concentrator
Max. Cable Length to Concentrator: 100 meters 



SETUP & DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM
