Each card is clearly displayed below with major components.
This User's Guide is used for the EP-320X-R serial 100/10M
PCI adapter with wake on LAN function which supports M/
B with PCI 2.1 spec. It is a 32-bit adapter for using in
personal computers with a Peripheral Component Inter-
connect (PCI) computer bus to eliminate I/O bottlenecks
and to reduce CPU loading using bus master architecture.
Wake on LAN (for PCI 2.1) function supports you to turn
on PCs from a sleep state over the network remotely during
off-hours.
It is a Full-Duplex adapter connected to an Ethernet net-
work with a single connection over unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cable and can auto-sense either 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps by full auto-detection.
Single-chip controller complies to PCI local bus
specification revision 2.1,2.2
Conform with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and
IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX standards
Support Wake on LAN function (Work with PCI 2.1
motherboard)
Support ACPI, PCI power management (Work with
PCI 2.1/PCI 2.2 motherboard)
High performance bus master architecture for low CPU
and bus utilization
Single RJ-45 connector for using at either 10 or 100Mbps
speed
On-board socket for an optional remote boot ROM
Provide diagnostic LED to monitor linking status
Provide high performance network drivers such as ODI,
NDIS, NDIS3,NDIS4, NDIS5, UNIX, etc.
Support PCI 2.1 For Wake on LAN Function
(With Cable)
NOTE: This 3-pin header is for PCI 2.1 Wake on LAN
function. You must connect WOL cable to this pin header
as Red wire in Red pin header, Black wire in Black pin
header, and Green wire in Green pin header.

Discharge any static electricity from your body before han-
dling the sensitive board of the card. Handle the card by its
edges, and be careful not to twist or flex it. Follow the steps
below to install the card:
lUnpack the card package.
lSwitch off your computer's power.
Note: To prevent equipment damage and injury, never
apply the power when installing. Turn off any devices that
you may attach to the computer.
lRemove your computer's unit cover. Refer to your
computer system manual for specific instructions.
lLocate a free PCI local bus master slot.
lRemove the slot cover and screw.
lInsert the card into the chosen and correct
slot carefully.
lPut the computer's unit cover back.
Twisted Pair Cable Connection
Twisted pair cable is used in conjunction with the RJ-45 modu-
lar plug on the rear bracket. To make the connection, per-
form the steps described as follows and illustrated as Figure A:
lMake sure the power to your computer is off to
avoid damage to both the computer and the network
interface card.

Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions in this manual, may cause interfer-
ence to radio communications. This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of the
FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against radio interference when operated in a commer-
cial environment. Operation of this equipment in a resi-
dential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the
user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever
measures are necessary to correct the interference.
CE Declaration of conformity
This equipment complies with the requirements relating to
electromagnetic compatibility, EN 55022 class A for ITE
and EN 50082-1. This meets the essential protection re-
quirements of the European Council Directive 89/336/EEC
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States
relating to electromagnetic compatibility.

Technical Specification
Note: Make sure you have the correct wiring. To reliably
operate your network at 100 Mbps, you must use unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) Category 5 or better Data Grade wire.
While Category 3 or 4 wire may initially seem to work, it
will soon cause data loss. The higher speed needs higher
quality wire.
For 10 Mbps operation, you can use either UTP Category
3, 4, or 5 Data Grade wire.
Figure A : Twisted-Pair Cable Connection
lUsing the RJ-45 plug and twisted-pair cable, connect
the network interface card to a 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX hub (concentrator). Note that the
maximum cable length between a hub and any
computer is 100 meters (328 feet).
If you want to view or change the configuration of your
Ethernet card, you can perform setup program on the dis-
tributed diskette.
Device Drivers on Diskette
The Driver Diskette contains several device drivers. These
drivers are described below. The utility diskette also con-
tains more updated information on configuring and install-
ing these drivers with the network operating system of
your choice.
READMEFile
Driver setup to the card is described in the README.DOC
file found on the diskette provided. Please take a few min-
utes to print and read this file so that you don't miss any
important notices.
Note: Please also refer to README.DOC file for more about
Wake on LAN function.
ODI The ODI drivers are used when the card is
installed in a Novell NetWare network.
NDIS The NDIS driver is used by Microsoft LAN
Manager, Windows for Workgroups, Banyan
VINES, DECnet Pathworks, WIN/TCP
PathWay Access, IBM LAN Support Program
and 3Com's 3+ Open, among others.
NDIS3 The NDIS 3.X drivers are used by WFW 3.11/
NT 3.51/Win 95.
