TPE cabling is also called RJ-45 cabling, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), and 10BASE-T. 10 Mbps Cabling - Twisted-Pair Ethernet (TPE) --------------------------------------------- The 10BASE-T specification can be obtained by contacting the IEEE at 800-678-IEEE. The RJ45 connector can use 22, 24, or 26-gauge UTP cabling. The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard for Category 3, 4, or 5. The cable between the computer and the hub must be less than 100 meters long. 100 Mbps Cabling ---------------- The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3 100BASE-TX standard for 2-pair, Category 5, UTP cable. The cable between the computer and the hub must be less than 100 meters long. Common Wiring Problems ---------------------- If the Link Integrity light on the rear panel of the NE10/100 ISA adapter is lit, then the hardware connection between the hub and the adapter is probably ok. If the Link light is not on: Check the connections for firm seating. Check/replace the cable. Power off/on the hub. Check the driver/software for correct loading. Plug and Play computers ======================= Overview -------- Plug and Play (PnP) is a system architecture for ISA bus computers that automatically configures PnP hardware devices, such as the Microdyne NE10/100 ISA adapter, when you power on the computer. There are three types of computers can be called "Plug and Play:" 1. Plug and Play computers running a Plug and Play-capable operating system, such as Windows 95. 2. Legacy computers (non-Plug and Play) running a Plug and Play capable operating system. 3. Legacy Computers (non-PnP) running DOS with a PnP Configuration Manager. For all three types of computer, running CONFIG is unnecessary. If you do not have a compter that meets one of the above types, see Chapter 4 in the User Guide. Changing the configuration -------------------------- If you have a PnP OS or PnP computer, it is highly recommended that you not change the adapter's resource settings with Config. If you don't want to accept the configuration settings the PnP computer or CM chose for the adapter, you may disable Plug and Play on the adapter and configure it yourself. See Chapter 4 of the User Guide for more details. Troubleshooting --------------- If Plug and Play doesn't seem to be working, CONFIG will display whether it can detect a Plug and Play in the opening screen. If CONFIG displays No PnP BIOS or Manager Detected, it is probable that you don't have a working version of a Plug and Play Manager. You may wish to find a more current manager or contact your computer manufacturer for a BIOS update. If you are installing the adapter with a Plug and Play capable operating system as Windows 95, it will provide Plug and Play detection and configuration for the adapter.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
