Introduction
Thank 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-bit or 32-bit 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 Microsoft
Windows 98, 98SE, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Netware Server
4.x/5.x/6.x, Netware ODI for DOS, Linux, 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.

Trouble-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 LEDs to indicate network status.
„ Speed
The LED indicates the adapter is connected to 10BaseT,
100BaseTX, or 1000BaseT network. When the light is
OFF, it indicates that the adapter is connected to
10BaseT network. When the light is ON in green color,
it indicates that the adapter is connected to 100BaseTX
network. When the light is ON in amber color, it
indicates that the adapter is connected to 1000BaseT
network.
„ Link/Activity
The LED indicates if the UTP has been LINK ok or not.
When the light is OFF, it indicates that the UTP port has
not been connected or LINK not ok. When the light is
ON, it indicates that the 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.
