Hardware Description

Accton’s Ethernet PC Card is a "feature-packed" credit card- sized adapter for PCMCIA-compliant personal computers. The card comes in two models (two media couplers to choose from):

•EtherPair-PCMCIA (EN2216-1)

•EtherDuo-PCMCIA (EN2216-2)

The EtherPair-PCMCIA has a single RJ-45 (10BASE-T) port for unshielded twisted-pair connection, while the EtherDuo- PCMCIA has an RJ-45 and BNC (10BASE2) connector.

This product features NE2000 compatibility. You can use the provided drivers in the driver diskette or use standard NE2000 network drivers.

LED Indicators

The following LEDs are found on both the EtherPair-PCMCIA and EtherDuo-PCMCIA media couplers.

Transmit/Receive LED

Color: Green

Function: Monitors signals transmitted to and received from the network.

The green LED labeled Tx/Rx lights up to indicate that the Ethernet PC Card is transmitting or receiving signals from the network. The rate of flashing is proportional to the amount of network traffic.

Link LED

Color: Green

Function: Monitors link status of card's twisted-pair connection.

This LED lights up to indicate that a valid 10BASE-T link is established. It is always on under normal operating conditions. If the LED is off after power is applied, check the RJ-45 port's cable connection.
