Full Package Content
The adapter package should contain the following
items:
l One ISA PnP Ethernet adapter
l User’ s guide
l Driver diskette

Introduction
This ISA PnP Ethernet adapter is high performance
NE2000 compatible Ethernet adapter with Plugand-Play and full-duplex function
The Plug-and-Play function can relieve the users
from pains of taking care the adapter’ s resource
configurations such as IRQ, I/O, and memory
address, etc.
The full-duplex function enables simultaneously
transmission and reception on Twisted-Pair
(10BASE-T) link to full-duplex Ethernet switching
hub. This feature not only increases the channel
bandwidth from 10 to 200Mbps but also avoids the
performance degrading problem due to the channel
contention characteristics of the 10BASE-T
transceiver can automatically correct the polarity
error on its receiving pair.
The Ethernet adapter includes complete NE2000
compatible drivers that are compatible with a wide
range of Network operating systems. The optional
BOOT ROM device allows the diskless workstation
to be connected to the network.
Product Features
l Compliant to IEEE 802.3 10BASE-2 and
10BASE-T standards.
l Supports Microsoft’ s Plug and Play configuration
for jumperless mode.
l Supports Full-Duplex Ethernet function to double
channel bandwidth.
l Automatic port selection between 10BASE-2
interface(BNC) and 10BASE-T interface(RJ-45)
l On-board socket for remote Boot ROM.
l On-board switch socket Plug and Play (PnP) or
Jumperless (NE2000) mode.
l LED Indicators
One LED on the bracket provides LINK
indicators.
State Description
On Normal data packet are received or Link
Off * When no twisted-pair connected
integrity pulse is detected
* No power source into hub
* Twisted-pair is faulty
* Non-10BASE-T device connected at
the other end of the twisted pair
* A twisted-pair wire that exceeds
recommended length

finished hardware installation.
• Running Plug and Play mode
It does not require the configuration operation
to install the Ethernet adapter in a computer
that is compatible with Plug and Play
specification or is running Microsoft Windows
95/98 system.
The adapter default is NE2000 mode. For Plug
and Play environment, please switch to PnP
mode or execute SETUP.EXE choose the
operating mode is PnP mode. Attach the cable
and connector, it will automatic detect the
medium type to use.
• Running Jumperless (NE2000) mode
Please switch to NE2000 mode and execute
SETUP.EXE. A screen will guide you to
configure the adapter to fit your computer
system’ s environment.
• Running Diagnostics
You can select “Run Diagnostics” in
SETUP.EXE menu to do the diagnostic to
check your Ethernet adapter. The diagnostic
will check the adapter. Then report the results.
It can help you to isolate and problem to a
specific adapter and to figure out whether
adapter or cable causes the problem.
If the diagnostic succeeds, “PASS COUNT” or
“OK” message is displayed at the bottom of the
screen.
If the diagnostic fails, afterward, an error
message is displayed at the bottom of screen.
To press ESC to exit from the problem and
power OFF, check hardware installation make
the necessary changes, and then try again.

Driver Installation
Before you connect adapter to the network, you
have to install the network driver first. The adapter
can work with all network drivers for Novell NE2000
adapter. You can also use the drivers supplied by

Networking Operating System is under a separate
directory. A HELP.EXE file under root directory lists
the information and detailed installation procedure
of all the available driver.
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:

installing the card.
Note: Before handling the remote boot ROM chip,
discharge any static electricity on your body by
touching a grounding surface such as the chassis of
the PC.
1. Align the notch and pins of the ROM chip with
notch and pinholes on the socket. Insert the
Boot ROM into the socket on the adapter until it
is firmly seated.
2. Execute the SETUP.EXE file to enable the
Boot ROM function by selecting the
appropriate Boot ROM address from the setup
menu.
3. Refer to the installation procedure provided by
Networking Operating System, Here lists the
reference subjects under two commonly used
