2. Cabling (compatible with network topology)
3. Connect the Wake-On-LAN cable to the motherboard (If
the WOL function is supported on the adapter)
4. Software for the adapter card contains both configuration
utilities and drivers
2.1 Unpack and Inspect
Caution:
Under ordinary circumstances, this adapter card
will not be affected by static charge as may be
received through your body during handling of the
unit .In special circumstances where you may
carry an extraordinarily high static charge, it had
better reduce the charge by touching a ground
before handling the adapter card.
Open the shipping gift box and carefully remove all items. In
addition to this User’s Manual, please check the following
items:
ŸOne 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Card
ŸOne WOL cable (If adapter supports WOL function)
ŸOne 3.5”Drivers and Utilities diskette
ŸThis user’s Manual
Note:
If any of the listed items are missing, please
contact your distributor or reseller

2.2 Install the Adapter
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Remove the computer’s cover, in accordance with its
manual.
3. Insert the contact edge of the adapter card into the
connector of any available PCI Bus master expansion
slot. Press the card firmly into the connector to PCI slot.
Please make sure that the card’s contacts are fully
seated in the PCI slot.
4. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the
Computer chassis.
5. Connect the WOL cable to the motherboard. (If adapter
supports WOL function)
6. Replace the computer’s cover.
7. Connect the CAT3 or CAT5 UTP cable to the RJ-45
network connector.
8. Remove [Drivers and Utilities] diskette from the PC
diskette drive.
9. Turn on the computer.
10. If the BIOS section of your computer’s boot program is
Plug and Play compliant, then at power up the BIOS will
configure any newly installed adapter automatically.
Note:
Due to some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs' problem, it
happens occasionally that a newly installed adapter is
assigned an Interrupt Number which is already used
by another device adapter. In such a case, the conflict
of Interrupt Number will cause faults in the behavior of
both devices. Then it is necessary to run the CMOS
Setup utility, and manually assign a non-conflict
Interrupt Number.

2.3 Connect Fast Ethernet
Category 5 UTP cable is required for Fast Ethernet
operation. The maximum cable run between the adapter and
the supporting hub is 300ft (100m). Make the network
connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45
receptacle of the adapter, and the other end into one port in
the hub.
2.4 Connect 10Mbps Ethernet
Category 3, Category 4, and Category 5 UTP cable, as well
as EIA/TIA 568 100 ohm STP cable, all qualification under
Ethernet cabling rules. The maximum cable length run
between this adapter and the supporting hub is 300 ft. Make
the network connection by plugging one end of the cable
into the RJ-45 receptacle of this adapter, and the other end
into the hub.

2.5 Drivers and Utilities Diskette
The [Divers and Utilities] diskette contains all the popular
operating system drivers.
ŸNovell NetWare(client /server)
ŸWindows NT 3.5, NT4.0/2000/XP
ŸWindows 95/98/ME
ŸMicrosoft Client (NDIS 2.0 DOS/OS2)
ŸWindows For Workgroup 3.11
Ÿ…. and so on
2.6 Software Installation
Please refer to“Quick Installation Guide”
2.7 Test Program
This test program verifies configuration of the adapter and
assists the isolation of any faults in operation. Test
procedure are optional, and will only be useful in the unusual
event that there is a fault, such as an interrupt number
conflict among your computer’s add on cards, If your
installation provides normal operation, you do not need
these test procedures.
At your DOS prompt, type the following command:
a:\rset8139.exe <Enter>
The opening screen is displayed as following:
View Current Configuration
Set Up New Configuration
Run Diagnostics
Exit RSET8139
Choose<Set Up New Configuration>item allows you to
set up the Network Speed, 10 or 100M, and Transmission
Mode, Full or Half Duplex, and so on. Choose <Run
Diagnostics>item to run the adapter test program.
Adapter test program includes:
<Run EEPROM Test>,
<Run Diagnostics on Board>,
<Run Diagnostics on Network>, and
<Run Power Management Test>.
The <PowerManagementTest>is available for WOL
adapter only.

After choosing the <Run Diagnostics on Board>item, the
screen will display like,
Node ID........: 00 e0 7d c0 00 01
Network Speed..: 100Mbps
I/O Base ......: E000H
Interrupt .....: 11
Full-Duplex ...: Disabled
Pass Count Fail Count
A. I/O Register
B. 100Mbps Loopback
C. 10Mbps Loopback
D. Cable Connection
<Cable Connection>test reminds you that the connection
link might be fail, either the cable isnot connected orthe
cable link fails.
For the <Run Diagnostics on Network>test, it is
necessary to connect your computer with its supporting hub
or anothercomputer. This is a "Ping-Pong" test. This test
cannot becompleted except two computers on the LANfor
sending or receiving the test packets between computers.
For the <Run Diagnostics On Network>test
Master Machine: Master machine sends magic packet or
Wake up frame through the network.
Target Machine: Target machine is notified whenever a
qualified wakeup packet is received.

wakeup event and wait a magic packet to do system
wakeup
Step3: Master Machine:
Select <Magic Packet> to send a magic packet and
wake up the target machine. The MAC address of
target machine will be asked for key-in, like
00 e0 7d c0 00 02.
Step4: Target Machine:
ACPI Testing events will be show
Device State 1: PASS
Device State 2: PASS
Device State 3: PASS
Step5: Target Machine:
Put the Target Machine to power down mode.
Step6: Master Machine:
Send a magic packet to wake up Target Machine.
Test the Wakeup Frame
Step1: Target Machine:
Select <Target Machine> then the system will setup
wakeup event and wait a magic packet to do system
wakeup
Step2: Master Machine:
Select<WakeUp Frame> to send a wakeup frame.
Step3: Target Machine :
ACPI Testing events will be show
Device State 1: PASS
Device State 2: PASS
Device State 3: PASS
Note:
Adapter testing program can not be used in Windows
95/98 DOS mode. Do not load any device drivers,
memory manager, and anti-virus software. The testing
program only can work in clean DOS prompt.
