1. Introduction The 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter is a 32-bit LAN adapter for use in personal computers with PCI computer bus slots. This adapter is a dual-speed adapter and features one RJ-45 connec- tor for either a 10 Mbps or a 100 Mbps IEEE 802.
1.2 Connector and LEDs Figure 1-1 shows the connector and LEDs on the adapter . The fol- lowing table describes these components. No. Components Description 1 10/100 Mbps This RJ-45 connector requires UTP network connector cable for 10Mbps or 100 Mbps connection.
2. Installing the Adapter This chapter describes how to install the Fast Ethernet PCI adapter in a PCI computer and how to connect the adapter to the network. Before installing the adapter , you need the following: • A computer system that is compliant with the PCI specifications version 2.
Figure 2-1 Inserting the Adapter into the PCI Slot 2.2 Connecting to the Network This section describes how to connect 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps net- work cables to the adapter . The rear bracket of the Fast Ethernet adapter contains one RJ-45 connector . The connector is used for either 100Mbps 100BASE-TX connection or 10Mbps 10BASE-T con- nection.
10 Mbps Connection For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks, the Fast Ethernet adapter uses Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable. T o establish a valid 10 Mbps connec- tion, the cable must be connected to a 10BASE-T hub. Connect the network cable as follows: 1. Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 10BASE-T adapter .
100 Mbps Connection For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the adapter supports Cat- egory 5 UTP cabling. T o establish a valid 100 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub. 1. Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX adapter .
3. Network Driver Installation After making the connection to the network, you must install the adapter network driver in order to connect the Fast Ethernet adapter to your network operating system.
may be included in the driver diskette after this guide is published. Please refer to the README.DOC file first for the latest informa- tion before you install any drivers.
4. Setup Program 4.1 Running Setup Program One setup program, SETUP .EXE, is contained in the adapter driver diskette. The Setup program is a DOS program for you to perform the following functions from its main menu as illustrated in Figure 4-1: Install menu: supports a quick method to install NetW are DOS ODI client driver on your computer .
Y ou can run the program and perform the tests at any time after installing the adapter to verify the installation or you can run it when a fault is suspected. Before running the program Before running the setup program, make sure that the adapter is cor- rectly installed in a computer with the PCI bus.
Starting the Setup Program T o start the Setup program, follow these steps: 1. Insert the adapter driver diskette labeled "1 of 2" into floppy disk drive A:.
4.2 Functions on the Main Menu This section describes the functions of "Install", "Setup", and "Diag- nostics" menu on the main menu as follows: Running "Install&quo.
Running "Setup" Menu This menu allows you to configure full-duplex mode for the adapter before running Connectivity test. Figure 4-4 Setup Menu "Auto Detection" selection allows adapter to configure du- plex mode automatically . "Full Duplex Enabled" selection will force the adapter to use full duplex mode.
Running "Diagnostics" Menu This menu provides two useful functions: Diagnostics and Connectiv- ity test. Figure 4-5 Diagnostics Menu Diagnostics test function allows you to test the major components and verify the basic operations of the selected adapter .
T o set up an echo station, follow these steps: 1. Install another adapter which is known to have no problem into a second computer as instructed in Chapter 2. 2. Run SETUP .EXE on that computer . 3. Press [F10] and press [ ® ] to select "Diagnostics" from the main menu.
4. Select "Connectivity T est" and press [Enter]. 5. Make sure an echo station is ready . Select "Start Network Link T est" from "Connectivity T est" pop-up window and press [OK] to start the test.
5. LED Indicators Each Fast Ethernet adapter has three LEDs, as shown in Figure 1-1. 5.1 Interpretations The interpretations of the LEDs are: 100Mb LED indicates an active 100Mbps connection is established.

A2. RJ-45 Connector & Cables Figure A-1 shows the pin assignments of the RJ-45 connector for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX network. The pin assignments are iden- tical for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, using Category 5 UTP cable.
A.3 Auto-negotiation Function The adapter is equipped with an auto-negotiation function. Auto-ne- gotiation is a negotiation procedure between two connected devices. Both devices must be auto-negotiation capable. The procedure de- cides the best operation modes that can be used for the data transfer operation between two connected devices.
A.4 Diagnostics Report When running "Diagnostics" from the SETUP program, the program indicates the result of each test on the Diagnostics Report window .
A.5 Installing Remote Boot ROM Before you can use the remote boot function, you have to setup the remote boot service on the file server and install the remote boot ROM onto the adapter . T o install the boot ROM, make sure the notch of the boot ROM is in the same direction as the notch of the socket on the adapter .
