About This Manual This manual will explain how to install and use your 10/ lOOMbps dual speeds Fast Ethernet PC Card. The following guideline will help you through the installation process. Chatper 1 presents you the basic information about the CardBus technology. It also" provides some methods to ensure your notebook are CardBus equipped and correctly configured. After you already make sure your mobile computer is ready to run CardBus 10/ lOOM Ethernet PC Card. You can go on the Chapter 2 to know how to install the PC Card and Connect it to network. The CardBus 10/100M Ethernet PC Card provides wide range of driver’s software to meet your need. You can pick up the section within Chapter 3 to install and configure the network driver. The Questions and Answers listed in the Chapter 4 give you some solutions when you encounter problem during installation of the network drivers. Finally you can find the detail specification of this innovative product in the Appendix A. System Requirements - An IBM compatible notebook computer with 486 or faster processor with CardBus supported socket. l Drivers and utilities provided with this product .

Windows 95, Windows 95 OSRQ, Windows 98 ' Windows 2000, - Novell Netware 3.x, 4.x . Microsoft Windows NT 3.51, NT 4.0 ' Windows Millenum ready INTRODUCTION TO CARDBUS Cardbus is the next generation 32-bit version issued by PCMCIA PC Card standard. In addition to support a wider bus (32 bits instead of 16 bits), CardBus also supports bus mastering and operation speeds up to 33 MHz. The l32MBytes bus transfer rate ( compares with legacy 16-bit I/O PC Card, 20MByte) provides the mobile user to enjoy the high- bandwidth network connection. A Mobil computer, which equipped with CardBus and properly configured is the fundamental requirement to use the CardBus lO/ 100M PC Card. To make sure about this point, please follow the guideline listed below: I Cardbus is designed to support both 16-bit and Cardbus Card. But the legacy 16-bit PC Card slot couldn't accept the CardBus PC Card. In order to prevent the wrong operation, CardBus is thus developed with particular mechanical consideration to prevent it fit into the legacy 16- bit PC Card Slot. If you can't insert the CardBus 10/100 PC Card into the slot firmly reaching the bottom, your notebook probably hasn’t the capability to support CardBus technology. Please check your notebook manual for detail information. NoteBook with only 16 bit PC Card Capabilit CardBus PC Card CardBus equipped NoteBook 16bit PC Card CardBus PC Card . Due to variant design of notebook computers, some models implement a setting in the Computer ‘5 BIOS to switch between Cardbus and 16-bit PC Card modes. You could consult the User’s Guide of your notebook and properly set on the CardBus or Auto__Detect mode. HARDWARE INSTALLATION This chapter describes how to install the CardBus lO/IOOM dual-speed PC Card in your notebook computer and connect it to network. It’s referred to “the PC Card” in this manual. The PC Card could be connected tobeither 100Mbps Fast Ethernet or IOMbps Ethernet. The PC Card has the ability of automatic sensing and operating on either speed without manual recofiguration. After finishing the installation of PC Card into your Notebook, please refer to Chapter.3 Software Installation on how to install network drivers using menu driven installation utility. Inserting the CardBus Dual-Speed PC Card 1. Hold the CardBus PC Card with wide connector toward the slot and the brand lable facing upward. “" 2. Insert the CardBus PC Card and push it firmly into the bottom. ( Please see the figuer on the next page for reference) Removing the CardBus Dual-Speed PC Card It’s quite different for various computer mechanical designs. Please refer to the PC Card removal instruction in the document for your notebook computer. Connecting to the Network Connect RJ-45 port of the CardBus 10/100 Ethernet PC Card Adapter to the Category 5 Network cable before loading any network driver. For operation in the 100Mbps (lOOBase-TX) Ethernet network, a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTR)Mcable should be used to connect between the RJ-45 port and 100Mbps hub or switch. For operation in the lOMbps (lOBase-T) Ethernet network, Category 3, 4 or 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable could be used to connect between the RJ-45 port and a lOMbps hub or switch. Parts Names and Functions RJ-45 port: connects to the Category 5 Ethernet Network Cable. 10 LED indicator: glows green when operated in the lOMbps Ethernet network. 100 LED indicator: glows green when operated in the IOOMbps Ethernet network. ACT LED indicator: blinks green when the CardBus 10/100 Ethernet Attached Port PC Card Adapter is transmitting/receiving data. Power LED indicator: glows green when inserted into the CardBus 10/100 Ethernet PC Card after your PC powers on. Wake LED indicator: glows green when the CardBus 10/100 Ethernet PC Card receives a Magic Packet frame from network. Full LED indicator: keeps on when in Full Duplex mode. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION Extensive software drivers have been developped for CardBus 10/ 100M PC Card including DOS- Mode, Microsoft Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT. Some of the' Operating Systems and PC Card/Socket Services haven’t been well implemented to support new CardBus technology at the present time. Our unique drivers and utility enable the CardBus 10/ IOOM Ethernet PC Card to run almost all the major environments. This Chapter consists four main parts: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 3.5x and various configurations in DOS-mode. The user could refer to specific section for installation. Windows 95 Installation Windows 95 released two major versions at the time when this manual is written. The first version ( refer to “Native ‘"Windows 95” afterward ) supports for 16-bit PC Card but not for CardBus PC Card. The latest version Windows 95 with OEM Service Release #2 ( refer to OSR2 Windows 95 or later ) supports both 16-bit and CardBus PC Card. The CardBus 10/100M Ethernet PC Card could operates in either Native or OSR2 version Windows 95 environments. However, the installation procedures are different. The section will presents you how to identify your version of Windows 95 first. Then you could decide which kind of installation process should be followed: _8_ Fcei * (L A SPECIFICATIONS Network Interface Specifications: ' 10Mbps EthernetzlEEE 8023 standard lOBaseT baseband CSMA/CD local area network. - 100Mbps Ethernet' IEEE 802. 3u standard IOOBase-TX baseband CSMA/CD local area network. - 20/200Mbps full duplex support ' Autonegotiation between all four operation modes.
