The enhancement in throughput provided by JITI is astonishing. It's the A.I. enabled network interface card in the industry and the best performance card in the market. With JITI, the improved IC-Card+ Ethernet PC Card's performance is sure to benefit most our users. The IC-Card+ supports the Full Duplex mode when using the 10BaseT media which provides the 20M Bits bandwidth for data transferring. For the BNC media, it can only be configured to Half Duplex Mode. For the convience of configuration, the IC-Card+ supports "Auto Negotiation" mode. It can auto determine the duplex mode (half or full duplex). 2.0 Overview ------------ The IC-Card+ PC Card is designed to work with notebook or handheld computers that either comes with Socket Services and Card Serveices or have Intel PC Card controller or compatible controller. The ODI DOS driver, NDIS DOS driver, and NDIS OS/2 driver are the only network operating system drivers that support an On-Line Hot-Swap function which allows the card to be removed and re-inserted without reloading the driver. After inserting the IC-Card+ PC Card into a slot, it is strongly recommended to run INSTALL.EXE in the DOS environment. Then follow onscreen instructions to complete the installation process. 2.1 About INSTALL.EXE --------------------- Before running the install.exe, please insert the IC-Card+ PC Card into PCMCIA slot in your notebook or handheld computers.
