INSTALLING THE CARD

2.Connect the EZ CardBus 10/100 card to a network hub or switch using UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors. Use Category 3, 4 or 5 for 10 Mbps connections and Category 5 for 100 Mbps connections. The UTP cable should have a maximum length of 100 m (328 ft).

3.Power on your PC and install the appropriate network driver for your operating system. Drivers can be found on the Driver Diskette.

Notes: 1.The card auto-negotiates the speed and duplex mode of the network connection, providing seamless operation on either 10 or 100 Mbps segments.

2.Full-duplex communications allow 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 duplex mode.
