•Configure the slot for level-triggered interrupts. The slot the controller is using must be configured for level-triggered interrupts rather than edge-triggered interrupts. Check your PCI BIOS Setup program.
Here are some example PCI BIOS setup program parameters:PCI slot #: | Slot where the controller is installed |
Master: | ENABLED |
Slave: | ENABLED |
Latency timer: | 40 |
Interrupt: | Choose an IRQ from the list |
Edge-level: | Level |
The exact wording of these parameters varies with different computers.“Push” Installation for Windows 95
If you are a LAN Administrator setting up server-based push installation of Windows 95 as defined in Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit, additional steps are required for this controller. Refer to the Push Installation for Windows 95 readme file on the support web site (see the inside back cover).
Fast Ethernet Wiring
100BASE-TX Specification: The 100BASE-TX specification supports 100 Mbps transmission over two pairs of Category 5 twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE) wiring. One pair is for transmit operations and the other for receive operations. Segment lengths are limited to 100 meters with 100BASE-TX for signal timing reasons. This complies with the EIA 568 wiring standard.
Fast Ethernet Hubs and Switches
The two basic types of hubs are shared hubs (hubs) and switching hubs (switches). This controller can be used with either type of hub for 10 Mbps. At 100 Mbps, a TX hub or switch is required.
