TF-320010/100Mbps PCI Network Adapter

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1Overview of the product

The TF-3200 10/100M PCI Network Adapter is a highly integrated and cost-effective Fast Ethernet Adapter that provides 32-bit performance, PCI bus controller, and full compliance with IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX specifications and IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex Flow.

The TF-3200 keeps low cost and eliminates usage barriers. It is the easiest way to upgrade a network from 10 to 100Mbps. Supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps network speed both in Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex transfer modes, using Auto-Negotiation technology to detect the network speed. It also can be widely used in most modern Operating System.

1.3LED Status

The green LED indicates if the 10 or 100Mbps STP/UTP has been link or not. When the LED radiate, it indicates the adapter connect to the network at 10/100Mbps speed. Otherwise, it indicates connection is not available. When the LED glitters, it means the STP/UTP port is receiving or transmitting data.
