Transcend PC Link SmartAgent Driver Agents
3-13
If you have one of these drivers installed, as soon as you
connect a network cable to the system, the Auto Select
Media Type function detects the type of cable making the
connection and automatically selects that media type, which
for the 3C595-T4 PCI adapter would be one of the UTP cable
types, including Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP.
