Introduction

Fast Ethernet is a relatively new standard of networking built specifically for

speed-intensive network applications like video-conferencing, multimedia

development, imaging, and complex databases. Capable of sending and receiv-

ing data at 100 megabits-per-second in half-duplex mode, and 200Mbps in full

duplex, Fast Ethernet technology is at least 10 times faster than traditional

10BaseT networks.

Built to run with the fastest network applications, the EtherFast®10/100 LAN

Card is a high performance network adapter for desktop computers with 32-bit

PCI expansion slots. The EtherFast®10/100 LAN Card is ready to run with

both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX networks right out of the box – the card's 10/100

combo RJ-45 port automatically detects your network's maximum speed and

adjusts itself accordingly.

The EtherFast®10/100 LAN Card from Linksys also features Wake-On-LAN

(WOL) event management. If your PCI motherboard has built-inWOL support,

you’ll be able to utilize this unique management feature.You can remotely turn

on any computer with a WOL network card. The ultimate in 10/100 network-

ing is yours! If you don’t have WOL support on your motherboard or you have

no need for it, don’t worry — your EtherFast®10/100 LAN Card will operate

normally anyway. If your mission critical applications require blinding network

speed, the EtherFast®10/100 LAN Card is the best value for your networking

dollar.

• Easy to Use Plug-and-Play 10/100 PCI Network Card

• Full Duplex Capability at Up To 200Mbps

• Connects to Both 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Networks

• Power On Your PC From Anywhere on the Network with Wake-On-LAN

Management

• Works With All Major Network Operating Systems

• 10BaseT and 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet Power for PCI-Equipped PCs

• Includes Auto-Detecting 10BaseT/100BaseTX RJ-45 Port that

Automatically Adjusts to Full or Half Duplex

• Bus Mastering 32-bit Architecture Supports 100Mbps Speeds

Installing the EtherFast®10/100 LAN

Card

Overview

Each EtherFast®10/100 LAN Card is equipped with an RJ-45 port that auto-

matically adjusts to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps speeds, allowing your PC to

attach to either Fast Ethernet (also known as 100BaseTX) or regular 10BaseT

Ethernet network segments without additional hardware or software.

The card should only be used with twisted-pair cabling. 10BaseT and

100BaseTX cabling is available in a number of different grades. For best

results, we recommend using 8-wire, category 5 unshielded twisted-pair for

both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX network segments, although category 3 can be

used for 10BaseT segments. The cable that runs from your PC’s EtherFast card

to your network should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Both Category 3 and

5 twisted-pair cabling can be purchased at most computer stores, or if you pre-

fer, you can crimp your own cables.

Installing the Network Card & Cabling

1. Power off your PC and any peripheral equipment attached to it. Unplug

your PC’s power cable.

2. Remove your computer's outside cover.

100 Amber. The 100 LED will illuminate when the card is operating at

100Mbps. If the 100 LED is not illuminated and the PC is powered on,

the card is operating at 10Mbps.

Link/Act Green. The Link LED will illuminate when the card has been suc-

cessfully connected to a network and flicker when data is being trans-

mitted or received over the network.

The RJ-45 Port is where you will connect your Category 3 or 5 network cabling.

6. Connect one end of a twisted-pair cable to your PC at the EtherFast®

10/100 LAN Card's RJ-45 port.

7. Plug the other end of the cable into one of your network’s 10BaseT or a

100BaseTX hub or switch ports, DSL modem, cable modem, router, etc.

8. Reconnect your PC’s power, then power on your computer. Your comput-

er will automatically recognize the card and assign it a unique IRQ ("inter-

rupt") and I/O address.

The card installation is complete. Next, you must install the device drivers

for the EtherFast®10/100 LANCard. To configure the 10/100 LAN Card,

turn to the section appropriate to your Operating System.

If you are using an operating system other than Windows 98,Windows 95,

or Windows NT, you will find the network driver installation instructions

on the Driver Disk’s readme.exe file.

3. Open your computer and locate the

PCI slot(s) on your motherboard.

PCI slots are easily identified by

their beige or white color. Remove

the metal slot cover on the back of

the PC, then insert the EtherFast®

10/100 LAN Card into an empty PCI

slot, as shown in the photograph

below.

4. Once your EtherFast®10/100 LAN Card is firmly in place, secure its

fastening tab to your PC's chassis with a mounting screw.

5. Replace your PC's cover.

NNoottee::If you intend to use both 10Mbps and 100Mbps components on your net-

work, you will need an auto-sensing hub or switch. For more information on

auto-sensing hubs or switches, go to the Linksys website at www.linksys.com.

NNoottee::When installing the

network card, be sure to

press the card solidly into

the PCI slot. Our network

cards are built to resist the

pressure necessary to insert the card

correctly in the PCI slot. Avoid a call to

technical support by making sure that

your card is inserted all the way into

your PC’s network slot! You will know

this has occurred when the card’s face-

plate is flush with your computer’s slot.

Windows 95 Installation and Setup

After installing the EtherFast hardware in your computer, follow these instruc-

tions for installing the network device driver. For troubleshooting tips during

setup, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

There are different versions of Windows 95:

• VersionA

• Version B (also known as OSR2)

• Version C (with USB support)

The installation procedure for the network driver will vary slightly depending

on which version of Windows 95 you are using. To begin the driver installation,

and to determine which version of Windows 95 you are using:

1. If you already haven’t, start up your PC.

2. Windows 95 will automatically detect the EtherFast Card in your com-

puter. If an Update Device Driver Wizard window (below, or another simi-

lar window) appears, you are using Windows 95 version B. If not, you are

using version A. Skip to the Installing the Drive in Windows 95 Version

Asection in the Appendix.
