FCC Compliance Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, 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. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the
Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Requlations.
Cet appareil numérique de la Classe B respecte toutes
les exigences du Réglement sur le matériel brouilleur du
Canada.

Section 1 Introduction
Your Ethernet hub card is a high performance network
device that is designed to easily link four 10/100Mbps
hub with a 100Mbps PCI interface card. The hub
card
consists of four (4) 10/100BASE-TX hub port to
linking and forwartding packets in one segment, it also
includes a 32-bit PCI interface to provide an additional
connection with the network segment.
The Ethernet hub card is designed for plug-and-play
installation and easy managements with all
10/100Mbps ports and LEDs on the bracket.
Summary of features
• Compliant with the 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX
specication of the IEEE 802.3 standard
• All 10/100Mbps hub port supports auto-negotia
tion and ato-detection for 10 or 100Mbps
• Equipped with four LEDs for easy viewing and
troubleshooting
• Equipped with a 100Mbps MAC interface to pro
vides a connection with the 10/100Mbps
hub seg ment
• Diagnostic software and network drivers on the
diskette
• 32-bit bus mastering for high throughput and
low
processor utilization

Section 2 Installation
This section describes how to install your Ethernet
hub card. Perform the following steps to install the
adapter.
1. Turn off your computer and all peripherals.
2. Make a note of the cables and cords that are
connected to the computer and disconnect them.
3. Remove your personal computer's cover (refer to
the owner's manual of your personal computer).
4. Select any available PCI slot, and remove the
slot cover.
5. Carefully install the Ethernet hub card into the
ex-pansion slot by rmly pressing the card into
the edge of the connector slot until the card is
snugly seated in the expansion slot and fasten
the retaining bracket with screw from the slot
cover.
6. Reinstall your personal computer's cover and
re-connect the power cord and all cables.
7. Connect the Ethernet cable to your personal
computer.
Note:
System Requirements:
A PC and BIOS that support the PCI Local Bus

Specication 2.x.
Section 3 Conguration and Diagnostics
Your Ethernet hub card has built-in a 100Mbps MAC
interface which is automatically configured when
you power-up your computer, In certain computers,
however, you must modify your BIOS by entering
your CMOS SETUP utility.
To view the configuration parameters assigned by
the BIOS, boot the computer to DOS, insert the
diskette into the oppy drive and then execute the utility
software EZRTS.EXE in the CONFIG directory.

Section 4 Drivers Installation
Be sure to install the proper driver for the hub card
to provides a connection between the 100Mbps MAC
interface and the four 10/100Mbps nodes.
You can use the drivers supplied by the software
diskette that is compatible with your Networking
Operating System. The driver for each Networking
Operating System is under a separate directory. Each
directory includes a README.TXT le to describe
the detailed installation procedure. A RELEASE.TXT
le under root directory lists the information of all
the available drivers.

Section 6 Troubleshooting
This section describes reasons for some adapter's
failures
and the actions to be taken to resolve the problems.
• PCI scan specied, device not found
Action: Verify that the PCI Ethernet adapter is
physically installed properly. Otherwise,
install the card in a different PCI
slot or replace the adapter.
• Connection failure if using an unshielded twisted
