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
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-/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 Microsoft
Windows 98, 98SE, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Netware Server
4.x/5.x/6.x, Netware ODI for DOS, Linux, Unix and
MAC OSX 10.2.x/10.3. Whatever your requirements are
ease of installation, superior performance or responsive
support backed up by unlimited technical support, this
adapter is the superior choice.

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 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.
