FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits of a Class B computing devices,
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.
If you suspect this product is causing interference, turn
your computer on and off while your radio or TV is
showing interference. If the interference disappears
then when you turn the computer off and reappears then
you turn the computer on, something in the computer is
causing interference.
You can try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures :
1. Reorient/Relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
difference from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Ensure that all expansion slots (on the back or side
of the computer) are covered. Also ensure that all
metal retaining brackets are tightly attached to the
computer.

1Introduction
Thanks you for purchasing our Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
This guide is to provide the installation and usage of this
adapter for network installers and users. The Gigabit
network adapter complies to 64-/32-bit (EN-9230TX-32
supports 32-bit only) PCI specification and supports half-
/full- duplex feature which can double network speed.
This adapter supports 1000Mbps(Gigabit), 100Mbps and
10Mbps network speed, 1000BaseT operates on all four
pairs of category 5 UTP cable, 100BaseTX operates on
two pairs of category 5 UTP cable and 10BaseT operates
on Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP cable.
With the Auto-Negotiation technology, network speed is
auto detected. When you connect the adapter to Gigabit
Switch or another Gigabit NIC, the speed will be doubled
to 2000Mbps (1000Mbps Transmit and 1000Mbps
Receive). If you connect the adapter to 100BaseTX hub,
the network speed is 100Mbps. Similarly, if the hub is a
switching hub which supports full duplex function, then
the speed will be doubled to 200Mbps.
This adapter supplies many drivers including NDIS 4, 5
driver for Microsoft Windows 98SE, Me, NT, 2000, XP,
Netware Server 5.x, Netware ODI for DOS, Linux and
Unix. Whatever your requirements are ease of
installation, superior performance or responsive support
backed up by unlimited technical support, this adapter is
the superior choice.

3Installation
(1) Hardware Installation
To insert the network adapter into your PC, follow the
steps as below :
1. Turn off the computer and remove its cover.
2. Insert the adapter into a PCI slot.
3. Secure this adapter to the rear of the computer
chassis and put back the computer cover.
4. Connect the adapter to the network using twisted-
pair cable.
(2) Driver Installation
Use the drivers supplied by the diskette included in this
product. For detail description, please execute the
readme.exe in the root directory of the diskette
provided by this product.
(3) Hardware Installation for Wake On LAN
This card supports PCI 2.1 Wake On LAN function.
Please refer to following instructions for installation of
Wake On LAN.
A. Hardware Requirement for Wake On LAN
yIf your motherboard supports the PCI 2.1 only, then
the motherboard must provide a 3-pin WOL
connector. (Some computers may require you to
change a setting in your computer’s BIOS or setup
program to enable the WOL feature.)
•ATX 2.01 power supply.
Note : Please installs only one active WOL adapter per
computer. You can install additional non-WOL
adapters.
4

(3) Hardware Installation for Wake On LAN
Please follow the next procedure to install the WOL
adapter to PCI 2.1 motherboard.
1. Unpack the 3-pin auxiliary power cable.
2. Insert the 3-pin auxiliary power cable into the
connector on the adapter.
3. Attach the 3-pin auxiliary power cable to the
connector on the PC motherboard.

4Trouble-shooting
If you experience any problems with the adapter, please
make sure the appropriate driver is loaded, the proper
cable is connected to the adapter port and the
hub/switch complies with the adapter specification,
such as 10Mbps 10BaseT, 100Mbps 100BaseTX and
1000Mbps 1000BaseT, then check the LED.
The adapter provides three LEDs to indicate network
status.
10Mbps Link/Activity
The LED indicates if the 10Mbps UTP has been LINK
ok or not. When the light is OFF, it indicates that the
10Mbps UTP port has not been connected or LINK not
ok. When the light is ON, it indicates that the 10Mbps
UTP port LINK ok. When the light is BLINKING, it
indicates that there is traffic flow on the network which
the adapter is connected to.
100Mbps Link/Activity
The LED indicates if the 100Mbps UTP has been
LINK ok or not. When the light is OFF, it indicates
that the 100Mbps UTP port has not been connected or
LINK not ok. When the light is ON, it indicates that
the 100Mbps UTP port LINK ok. When the light is
BLINKING, it indicates that there is traffic flow on the
network which the adapter is connected to.
1000Mbps Link/Activity
The LED indicates if the 1000Mbps (Gigabit) UTP has
been LINK ok or not. When the light is OFF, it
indicates that the 1000Mbps UTP port has not been
connected or LINK not ok. When the light is ON, it
indicates that the 1000Mbps UTP port LINK ok. When
the light is BLINKING, it indicates that there is traffic
flow on the network which the adapter is connected to.

( Wake On LAN )
The PC can not boot up after installing the
adapter.
1. Remove the 3-pin cable from the PC connector.
2. Boot up the PC, run setup program to enable ACPI
or Wake On LAN.
3. Turn off the PC and reconnect the 3-pin cable to the
PC.
4. Boot up the PC again.
The PC does not boot up when a Magic
Packet or Wake Up Frame is sent.
1. Check the specification of this PC meets the
hardware requirement in Chapter 3.
2. Verify the BIOS setting of Wake On LAN is
configured properly. (Please check your computer
owner’s manual or contact your dealer for more
information.)
3. Remove the PC cover and check the 3-pin cable
connection.
4. If the adapter still does not wake up, install a known
good working Wake On LAN adapter and 3-pin
auxiliary power cable in the PC and recheck the PC.
[!] Contact your dealer if problem persist.
