PCI Ethernet 10Base-2/T
Duo/TP Board
User's Manual
(GME290PX-001)

1. Checklist
Before you start installing the PCI Duo/TP, verify the package contains the following items:
-- PCI Duo/TP Board
-- LAN Driver Diskette
-- This User's Manual
Please notify your sales representative immediately if any of the aforementioned items is missing or
damaged.
2. Overview
Ethernet 10 Mbps Duo/TP is a PCI Ethernet board; the PCI bus design allows Duo/TP board to
transfer data between the network and station at PCI system clock speed with high throughput rate.
PCI Duo board is equipped with TP RJ-45 and coaxial BNC connectors, while PCI TP board is
equipped with TP RJ-45 connector only. The Link LED will light up when UTP/STP cable connection is
good and Act LED blinks to indicate the board/network activity status.

3. Duo/TP PCI Bus Configuration
!PCI Slot is auto-configured by the system BIOS
!When installing multiple PCI Duo/TP boards at the server station, you should configure the PCI
slot's IRQ settings correctly. Up to four PCI Duo/TP can be installed in a PCI file server running
NetWare system. Each Duo/TP board's IRQ should not conflict with other installed
boards/devices.
4. Boot ROM Installation
To add the Remote Boot feature to a workstation, insert the Boot ROM into socket as show below.
Align the notch and pins on the Boot ROM with the notch and pin receptacles on the ROM socket.
Gently push the Boot ROM into the socket, being careful not to bend the pins.
PCI Duo/TP Boot ROM is auto-configured with PCI slot after your PC is initialized. The message is:
RPL-ROM-ADR : 0040-C7xx-xxxx (Node ID)
RPL-ROM-IRQ : x (PCI slot IRQ no.)
RPL-ROM-PIO : x000 (PCI slot IO address)
ADR is the Ethernet Node Address of PCI Duo/TP IRQ, PIO of PCI slot are configured by your system
PCI BIOS

5. Full/Half Duplex Mode
RJ-45 TP port supports full or half-duplex mode, which is configured by NETSETUP.EXE utility and
LAN driver options. BNC port supports half-duplex only. The operating mode should match with the
remote link device's working condition and status.
6. Diagnostic & Driver Setup
Diagnostic program lets you test PCI Duo/TP Node ID address, half-duplex mode, board
configuration, or the cable connection between any two stations. Please refer to the Driver Diskette
for more information and driver setup procedures.
