1. Introduction

Thanks for purchasing the Edimax EN-9235TX-32 Gigabit Ethernet PCI adapter. This manual
describes the steps to follow when installing the hardware and software that came with the
product. The EN-9235TX-32adapter supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T
Ethernet copper interface. Moreover, the PCI interface on the EN-9235TX-32 complies with
PCI Local Bus, and is compatible with 32-bit PCI bus. As a bus master, the EN-9235TX-32
requests access to the PCI bus, instead of waiting to be polled.

1.1 Features

The EN-9235TX-32 Gigabit Ethernet PCI adapter is a cost effective, high-performance
network interface card. It operates in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T modes and
integrates easily with Fast Ethernet hub and Gigabit hub and switches.

y Complies with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX, and IEEE 802.3ab

1000BASE-T standards

y Complies with PCI specifications
y Supports 32-bit bus master for high throughput and low CPU utilization
y Supports both Half and Full Duplex operations
y Supports 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sen sin g capability
y Supports Wake On LAN (depending on the model and the user’s motherboard function)
y Rich diagnostic LED mounted on bracket for easy viewing and troubleshooting (Link/Act

Green/Blinking Green)

y Plug-and-Play Installation
y Network drivers on CD for Windows 98SE, 2000, XP, Vista, MAC 10.4x up and Linux driver
y FCC, CE class B certified

1.2 System Requirements

Before using the adapter, you need the following components:
y One 32 or 64 bit PCI master mode expansion slot that is compliant with PCI bus

specifications

y One CD-ROM drive
y The following cables:

Port Type Media Max. Distance

10BASE-T Cat. 3, 4, or 5 UTP 100 meter
100BASE-TX Cat. 5 or 5e UTP 100 meter
1000BASE-T Cat. 5 or 5e UTP 100 meter

NOTE: 1000BASE-T signaling requires four twisted pairs of Category 5 balanced cabling, as

specified in ISO/IEC 11801:1995 and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A (1995) and tested for
additional performance using testing procedures defined in TIA/EIA TSB95.
