anti-static strap.

Installing the Card:

5. Using a #6-32 x 1/4” screw secure the card in place.

6. Put your computer case back on.

7. Connect to the network using AUI, thin or twisted-pair cables depending on the

connector you are using.

Configuration/Diagnostics

The PCIBT is basically self-configurable and requires no intervention from the user.

There are only 2 items that can be configured: Full/Half duplex, and Boot ROM

enabled/disabled. You can also run diagnostic of the card from the Setup.exe

program provided.

Troubleshooting

Most common factors that cause an adapter to fail are configuration conflicts and cabling

problems. PCI cards shouldn’t have any conflict problems due to plug and play

specification. If there is, check the cable and its connector and/or use the adapter LED

indicators and Diagnostic Program For information on the Diagnostic Program, please

see the Setup program. If the problem persists, call your dealer for help.

LED Indicators

The LEDs help you monitor the network status. Their functions depend on the type of

cable used.

*Link monitors the data link status on the UTP cable. It turns ON when there is data

link, and off when there is a bad connection.

*Activity blinks when there is data transmission/reception.
