Technical Specification
Note:
Make sure you have the correct wiring. To reliably
operate your network at 100 Mbps, you must use unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) Category 5 or better Data Grade wire.
While Category 3 or 4 wire may initially seem to work, it
will soon cause data loss. The higher speed needs higher
quality wire.
For 10 Mbps operation, you can use either UTP Category
3, 4, or 5 Data Grade wire.
Figure A : Twisted-Pair Cable Connection
l
Using the RJ-45 plug and twisted-pair cable, connect
the network interface card to a 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX hub (concentrator). Note that the
maximum cable length between a hub and any
computer is 100 meters (328 feet).
If you want to view or change the configuration of your
Ethernet card, you can perform setup program on the dis-
tributed diskette.
Device Drivers on Diskette
The Driver Diskette contains several device drivers. These
drivers are described below. The utility diskette also con-
tains more updated information on configuring and install-
ing these drivers with the network operating system of
your choice.
README File
Driver setup to the card is described in the README.DOC
file found on the diskette provided. Please take a few min-
utes to print and read this file so that you don't miss any
important notices.
Note: Please also refer to README.DOC file for more about
Wake on LAN function.
ODI
The ODI drivers are used when the card is
installed in a Novell NetWare network.
NDIS
The NDIS driver is used by Microsoft LAN
Manager, Windows for Workgroups, Banyan
VINES, DECnet Pathworks, WIN/TCP
PathWay Access, IBM LAN Support Program
and 3Com's 3+ Open, among others.
NDIS3
The NDIS 3.X drivers are used by WFW 3.11/
NT 3.51/Win 95.
