FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits of a Class B computing devices,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interferenceto radio communications.
If you suspect this product is causing interference, turn
your computer on and off while your radio or TV is
showing interference. If the interference disappears
then when you turn the computer off and reappears then
you turn the computer on, something in the computer is
causing interference.
You can try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures :
1. Reorient/Relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
difference from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Ensure that all expansion slots (on the back or side
of the computer) are covered. Also ensure that all
metal retaining brackets are tightly attached to the
computer.

Introduction
Thanks you for purchasing our 10/100Mbps Fast
Ethernet Adapter. This guide is to provide the
installation and usage of this adapter for network
installers and users. The 10/100 network adapter
complies to PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 specification and
supports half/full duplex feature which can double
network speed.
This adapter supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps
network speed, 100BaseTX operates on two pairs of
category 5 UTP cable and 10BaseT operates on
Category 3,4,5 UTP cable.
With the Auto-Negotiation technology, network speed
is auto detected. When you connect the adapter to
10BaseT hub via UTP cable, the network speed
becomes 10Mbps. Similarly, if you connect the adapter
to 100BaseTX hub, the network speed is 100Mbps. If
the hub is a switching hub which supports full duplex
function, then the speed will be doubled to
20Mbps/200Mbps.
Real hassle free installation is achieved by conforming
to PCI bus. Just plug in the card and all setup is done
automatically. No more software to run !
Furthermore, this adapter support the Wake On LAN
(WOL) feature allows users to configure network
adapters that are capable of “listening to” network
packets even when the computer is turned off.
This adapter supplies many drivers including ODI
driver for NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x, NDIS driver for
MicrosoftLANManager,Windows95/98/NT/2000/Me/
XP, Linux, and a Packet Driver for TCP/IP software.
Whatever your requirements are ease of installation,
superior performance or responsive support backed up
by unlimited technical support, this adapter is the
superior choice.

Installation
(1) Hardware Installation
To insert the network adapter into your PC, follow the
steps bellow :
1. Turn off the computer and remove its cover.
2. Insert the adapter into a PCI slot.
3. Secure this adapter to the rear of the computer
chassis and put back the computer cover.
4. Connect the adapter to the network using twistedpair cable.
(2) Hardware Requirement for Wake On LAN
If your motherboard support the PCI 2.1 only, then
the motherboard must provide a 3-pin WOL
connector.
(Some computers may require you to change a setting
in your computer’s BIOS or setup program to enable
the WOL feature.)
If the motherboard support PCI 2.2, we don’t need
the 3-pin WOL connector. ( the function will be
provided from the PCI bus directly )
ATX 2.01 power supply.
Note : Install only one active WOL adapter per
computer. You can install additional,
non-WOL adapters.
(3) Hardware Installation for Wake On LAN
If your motherboard support the PCI 2.2 standard, no
other procedure is needed. But, you still can follow the
steps (for PCI 2.1) below on the PCI 2.2 motherboard,
and all the function include the WOL will work
normally.

If the motherboard support PCI 2.1 only, please follow
the next procedure,
1. Unpack the 3-pin auxiliary power cable.
2. Insert the 3-pin auxiliary power cable into the
connector on the adapter.
3. Attach the 3-pin auxiliary power cable to the
connector on the PC motherboard.
(4) Driver Installation
Use the drivers supplied by the diskette included in this
product. For detail description, please refer to
readme.doc or readme.exe in the diskette provides by
this product.

Trouble-shooting
If you experience any problems with the adapter, first
make sure the appropriate driver is loaded, the proper
cable is connected to the adapter port and the hub
complies with the adapter specification, such as
10Mbps 10BaseT or 100Mbps 100BaseTX, then check
the LED.
The adapter provides one LEDs to indicate network
status.
Lnk/Act
A green LED indicates if the NIC has been LINK ok or
not. When the light is OFF, it indicates that the UTP
port has not been connected or LINK not ok. When the
light is ON, it indicates that the UTP port LINK ok.
When the light is BLINKING, it indicates that there is
traffic flow on the network which the adapter is
connected to.

( Wake On LAN )
The PC can not boot up after installing the
adapter.
1. Remove the 3-pin cable from the PC connector.
2. Boot up the PC, run setup program to configure the
adapter as “Active Low”(Default setting is “Active
High”)
3. Turn off the PC and reconnect the 3-pin cable to the
PC.
4. Boot up the PC again.
The PC does not boot up when a Magic
Packet or Wake Up Frame is sent.
1. Check the specification of this PC meets the
hardware requirement in chapter 2.
2. Verify the BIOS setting of Wake On LAN is
configured properly. (Please check your computer
owner’s manual or contact your dealer for more
information.)
3. Remove the PC cover and check the 3-pin cable
connection.
4. Run configure program to check the setting of this
adapter.
5. If the adapter still does not wake up, install a known
good working Wake On LAN adapter and 3-pin
auxiliary power cable in the PC and recheck the PC.
[!] Contact your dealer if problem persist.
