Model: Fast EtherCard-32

Type: User manual

Accton Technology Fast EtherCard-32 is a 32-bit Fast Ethernet CardBus PC Card that allows you to connect your notebook to an Ethernet network. It supports both 10 and 100 Mbps speeds, and it can automatically negotiate the speed of the network to which it is attached. The card also supports full-duplex communications, which allows data to be sent and received simultaneously, doubling the effective throughput. Additionally, the card includes an SNMP management agent, which allows portable PCs to be managed using SNMP-based network management software.

32-bit Fast Ethernet CardBus PC Card User’s Guide

Thank you for purchasing our product! This guide contains

information to install and configure the 10/100 Mbps Fast

EtherCard-32 for proper operation.

Hardware Description

Before you insert the Fast EtherCard-32 into your machine,

please verify if your notebook supports the CardBus standards

and provides the Type II or Type III Slot.

This CardBus PC card’s main PCB board is encased in a

stainless compact frame that is easily transportable. It contains

a 68-pin connector for connecting to the PC and a 15-pin flat

connector for attaching the RJ-45 media coupler. You can use

the RJ-45 connector to connect your PC to the Ethernet

network.

LINK INTEGRITY

ORANGE - 100 Mbps

GREEN - 10 Mbps

Transmit/Receive Activity Indicator

Color: Yellow

Function: Indicates incoming and outgoing network traffic

The Transmit/Receive LED on the adapter’s media coupler

lights up to indicate the presence of network packets passing

through the connected port. The rate of flashing is proportional

to the amount of network traffic.

Link Integrity LED Indicator

Color: Green: 10Mbps; Orange: 100Mbps

Function: Link status indicator

The Link LED on the adapter’s media coupler lights up to

indicate a successful network connection, and remains steady if

the connection is stable; otherwise check the RJ-45 connection.

The LED will be green if the adapter is operating at 10Mbps, or

orange if it is operating at 100Mbps.

Summary of LED Display

During normal network operation, the adapter’s LED indicators

demonstrate the following functions:

3. Power on your machine.

Notes:

1. The card auto-negotiates the speed of the

network to which it is attached, providing

seamless operation on either 10 or 100 Mbps

network segments.

2. It supports full-duplex communications, allowing

data to be sent and received simultaneously,

doubling the effective throughput. Refer to the

readme files on the driver diskette for

information on setting the transmission mode.

3. An SNMP management agent is included on the

card which allows portable PCs to be managed

using SNMP-based network management

software.

Software Driver Installation

The diskette, labeled Driver Diskette, which comes with the

package contains all the software drivers available for the PC

Card. A RELEASE.TXT file, describing the contents of the

diskette is found in the root directory. Different drivers are

stored in separate subdirectories, which also include a text

file. Select the driver you need and refer to the text file for

the installation procedure.

EMI Certification

FCC Class A Certification

Warning: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause

interference to radio communications. It has been tested

and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital

device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules,

which are designed to provide reasonable protection against

such interference when operated in a commercial

environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential

area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user,

at his own expense, will be required to take whatever

measures are required to correct the interference.

You may use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) for RJ-45

connections - Category 3 or greater for 10 Mbps

connections, and Category 5 for 100 Mbps connections.

Class A (Canada Dept. of Communications)

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for

radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in

the interference-causing equipment standard entitled "Digital

Apparatus", ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.

Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits

radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de

Classe A prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur:
