Hardware Description
Acctons Ethernet PC Card is a "feature-packed" credit card-
sized adapter for PCMCIA-compliant personal computers.
The card comes in two models (two media couplers to choose
from):
 EtherPair-PCMCIA (EN2216-1)
 EtherDuo-PCMCIA (EN2216-2)
The EtherPair-PCMCIA has a single RJ-45 (10BASE-T) port
for unshielded twisted-pair connection, while the EtherDuo-
PCMCIA has an RJ-45 and BNC (10BASE2) connector.
This product features NE2000 compatibility. You can use the
provided drivers in the driver diskette or use standard NE2000
network drivers.
LED Indicators
The following LEDs are found on both the EtherPair-PCMCIA
and EtherDuo-PCMCIA media couplers.
Transmit/Receive LED
Color: Green
Function: Monitors signals transmitted to and received from
the network.
The green LED labeled Tx/Rx lights up to indicate that the
Ethernet PC Card is transmitting or receiving signals from the
network. The rate of flashing is proportional to the amount of
network traffic.
Link LED
Color: Green
Function: Monitors link status of card's twisted-pair
connection.
This LED lights up to indicate that a valid 10BASE-T link is
established. It is always on under normal operating conditions.
If the LED is off after power is applied, check the RJ-45 port's
cable connection.

Hardware Installation
1. Insert the Ethernet PC Card into the computers PCMCIA
slot. Insert the card with the 68-pin connector facing the
PCMCIA slot and the label facing up. See Figure 1 for
illustration.
Figure 1. Inserting the Ethernet PC Card into the Type II
PCMCIA Slot.
2. Plug the media coupler into the cards 15-pin connector.
3. Connect the media coupler to the network using either UTP
or thin coax cabling.
a. Connecting to the RJ-45 port using UTP cable.

(EtherDuo-PCMCIA, model EN2216-2)
Note: If the card is attached to the end of the network segment,
be sure a 50-Ohm terminator is installed on the open end of the
T-type connector.
Software Driver Installation
The diskette labled Driver Diskette, that comes with the
package contains all the software drivers available for the
Ethernet PC Card. A RELEASE.TXT file, describing the
contents of the diskette is found in the root directory. Different
drivers are stored in separate subdirectories, which also
include a text file. Select the driver you need for your system
and refer to the text file for the installation procedure.

2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Warning! This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
the one which the receiver is connected to.
 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
You may use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable for RJ-45
connections.
You are hereby cautioned that changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void your authority to operate the equipment.
