AsanteFAST 10/100 PCI Rev B Adapter

  Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows 98 NDIS v4.0 Driver
  INSTALLATION GUIDE


Proceed as follows to install the driver into Windows 95 or Windows 98.
  
  1. Start Windows 95 or Windows 98 with the AsanteFAST adapter installed.
  
  2. Windows finds new hardware as PCI Ethernet Controller so click Next. 

  3. On the next window select "Search for the best driver for your device 
     (Recommended)" and click Next.
  
  4. Insert the AsanteFAST 10/100 PCI Rev B Adapter Driver CD-ROM and click 
      Next.

  5. On the next window select "CD-ROM drive" and type in the driver letter for 
      your CD-ROM drive and click Next.  
  
  6. Windows found the following driver "AsanteFAST  10/100 PCI Rev B
     Adapter" click Next.
  
  7.Click OK on the next window when Windows displayed "Please insert the disk 
     labeled "AsanteFAST 10/100 PCI Rev B Adapter Driver CD-ROM.

  8. When Windows displayed "The file "L100W95.INF" on AsanteFAST 10/100 
      PCI Rev B Adapter Driver CD-ROM cannot be found" specify the correct 
      path to your CD-ROM drive and click OK.
  
  9. Follow on-screen instructions to finish the installation and restart the 
      computer when done.


SETTING DRIVER PARAMETERS LIST

ConnectionType:
      ConnctionType specified the oepration speed of the adapter. It is 
      recommanded that user selects the AUTODETECT mode. In autodetect mode,
      the adapter detects the link partner's abilities and chooses the 
      highest available speed automatically.

      Available options:

*   AUTODETECT                   
    In AUTODETECT mode the driver
    supports run-time auto swap function.
    You can auto swap during run time
    from one hub to another.

*   TP_10                       
    10Base-T Half-Duplex mode

*   TP_10+Full_Duplex           
    10Base-T Full-Duplex mode

*   TP_100_X                    
    100Base-Tx Half-Duplex mode

*   TP_100_X+Full_Duplex        
    100Base-Tx Full-Duplex mode

TxThreshold:
      This parameter controls the bytes of data read from the host memory
      into adapter's transmit FIFO before the transmitting operation 
      starting. The smaller the TxThreshold the better the transmitting 
      performance is. But smaller TxThreshold also increases the possibility
      of transmit under flow. If transmit under flow does occur frequently,
      the driver will increase the TxThreshold automatically. It is 
      recommanded that the user choose an appropricated TxThreshold value 
      according to the PC's speed.
   
      Available values:
*   Store and Forward        
    Disable the transmit threshold control. The adapter 
    reads the whole frame from the host memory to transmit 
    FIFO first, then starts to transmit.
    
*  36 Bytes              
   Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control 
   and establish transmit threshold initial value 
   to 36 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow 
   too many times, the value will be increased 
   dynamically.

*  72 Bytes              
   Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control 
   and establish transmit threshold initial value 
   to 72 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow 
   too many times, the value will be increased 
   dynamically.

*  96 Bytes              
   Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control 
   and establish transmit threshold initial value 
   to 96 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow 
   too many times, the value will be increased 
   dynamically.

*  128 Bytes             
   Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control 
   and establish transmit threshold initial value 
   to 128 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow 
   too many times, the value will be increased 
   dynamically.

*  160 Bytes             
   Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control 
   and establish transmit threshold initial value 
   to 160 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow 
   too many times, the value will be increased 
   dynamically.

*  256 Bytes             
   Enable the dynamic transmit threshold control 
   and establish transmit threshold initial value 
   to 256 bytes. When the transmit FIFO is underflow 
   too many times, the value will be increased 
   dynamically.
