Edimax Technology EN-9235TX-32 Introduction, Features, System Requirements, Port Type, Media

1. Introduction

Thanks for purchasing the Edimax EN-9235TX-32 Gigabit Ethernet PCI adapter. This manual describes the steps to follow when installing the hardware and software that came with the product. The EN-9235TX-32adapter supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Ethernet copper interface. Moreover, the PCI interface on the EN-9235TX-32 complies with PCI Local Bus, and is compatible with 32-bit PCI bus. As a bus master, the EN-9235TX-32 requests access to the PCI bus, instead of waiting to be polled.

1.1 Features

The EN-9235TX-32 Gigabit Ethernet PCI adapter is a cost effective, high-performance network interface card. It operates in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T modes and integrates easily with Fast Ethernet hub and Gigabit hub and switches.

yComplies with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX, and IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T standards

yComplies with PCI specifications

ySupports 32-bit bus master for high throughput and low CPU utilization

ySupports both Half and Full Duplex operations

ySupports 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensing capability

ySupports Wake On LAN (depending on the model and the user’s motherboard function)

yRich diagnostic LED mounted on bracket for easy viewing and troubleshooting (Link/Act Green/Blinking Green)

yPlug-and-Play Installation

yNetwork drivers on CD for Windows 98SE, 2000, XP, Vista, MAC 10.4x up and Linux driver

yFCC, CE class B certified

1.2 System Requirements

Before using the adapter, you need the following components:

yOne 32 or 64 bit PCI master mode expansion slot that is compliant with PCI bus specifications

yOne CD-ROM drive

yThe following cables:

Port Type	Media
10BASE-T	Cat. 3, 4, or 5 UTP
100BASE-TX	Cat. 5 or 5e UTP
1000BASE-T	Cat. 5 or 5e UTP

Max. Distance

100meter
