y Network drivers on the diskette for

Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP,
NetWare, Unix and Packet driver.

y FCC, CE certification

1.2 System Requirements

To use the adapter, you need the following
components:
y A PCI master mode expansion slot that

is compliant with PCI bus specifications,
revisions 2.2

y A 3.5-inch,1.44MB diskette driver
y The following cables:

To operate at 10Mbps, a Category 3, 4,

5 UTP/STP Cable

To operate at 100Mbps, a Category 5

UTP/STP cable

2. Installation

This section describes how to install the
adapter. For connecting to the network, you
must have the following:

1. Network adapter card installed to your
computer.

2. Software for the adapter card contains both
configuration utilities and drivers

2.1 Unpack and Inspect

Caution:

Under ordinary circumstances, this adapter
card will not be affected by static charge as
may be received through your body during
handling of the unit .In special
circumstances where you may carry an
extraordinarily high static charge, it had
better reduce the charge by touching a
ground before handling the adapter card.

Open the shipping gift box and carefully
remove all items. In addition to this User’s
Manual, please check the following items:
y One 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter

Card

y One 3.5” Drivers and User’s manual

diskette

Note:
If any of the listed items are missing,
please contact your distributor or
reseller

2.2 Install the Adapter

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Remove the computer’s cover, in

accordance with its manual.

3. Insert the contact edge of the adapter card
into the connector of any available PCI
Bus master expansion slot. Press the card

5

firmly into the connector to PCI slot.
Please make sure that the card’s contacts
are fully seated in the PCI slot.

4. Install the bracket screw that secures the
card to the Computer chassis.

5. Replace the computer’s cover.

6. Connect the CAT3 or CAT5 UTP cable to

the RJ-45 network connector.

7. Remove [Drivers and User’s manual]
diskette from the PC diskette drive.

8. Turn on the computer.

9. If the BIOS section of your computer’s

boot program is Plug and Play compliant,
then at power up the BIOS will configure
any newly installed adapter automatically.

Note:

Due to some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs'
problem, it happens occasionally that a
newly installed adapter is assigned an
Interrupt Number which is already used by
another device adapter. In such a case, the
conflict of Interrupt Number will cause faults
in the behavior of both devices. Then it is
necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility,
and manually assign a non-conflict Interrupt
Number.

2.3 Connect Fast Ethernet

Category 5 UTP cable is required for Fast
Ethernet operation. The maximum cable run
between the adapter and the supporting hub
is 300ft (100m). Make the network connection
by plugging one end of the cable into the
RJ-45 receptacle of the adapter, and the other
end into one port in the hub.

2.4 Connect 10Mbps Ethernet

Category 3, Category 4, and Category 5 UTP
cable, as well as EIA/TIA 568 100 ohm STP
cable, all qualification under Ethernet cabling
rules. The maximum cable length run between
this adapter and the supporting hub is 300 ft.
Make the network connection by plugging one
end of the cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of
this adapter, and the other end into the hub.

2.7 Test Program

This test program verifies configuration of the
adapter and assists the isolation of any faults
in operation. Test procedure are optional, and
will only be useful in the unusual event that
there is a fault, such as an interrupt number
conflict among your computer’s add on cards,
If your installation provides normal operation,
you do not need these test procedures.

At your DOS prompt, type the following
command: a:\rset8139.exe <Enter>
The opening screen is displayed as following:

View Current Configuration
Set Up New Configuration
Run Diagnostics
Exit RSET8139

Choose <Set Up New Configuration> item
allows you to set up the Network Speed, 10 or
100M, and Transmission Mode, Full or Half
Duplex, and so on. Choose <Run
Diagnostics> item to run the adapter test
program.
Adapter test program includes:

<Run EEPROM Test>,
<Run Diagnostics on Board>,
<Run Diagnostics on Network>, and
<Run Power Management Test>.

The <Power Management Test> is available
for WOL adapter only.

After choosing the <Run Diagnostics on
Board> item, the screen will display like,

Node ID........: 00 e0 7d c0 00 01

Network Speed..: 100Mbps

I/O Base ......: E000H

<Cable Connection> test reminds you that
the connection link might be fail, either the
cable is not connected or the cable link fails.

For the <Run Diagnostics on Network> test,
it is necessary to connect your computer with
its supporting hub or another computer. This is
a "Ping-Pong" test. This test cannot be
completed except two computers on the LAN
for sending or receiving the test packets
between computers.
