Introduction 

Thanks you for purchasing Benq AEN100/101 Fast Ethernet Card.   This 

guide is to provide the installation and usage of this product for network 

installers and users.   The AEN100/101 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Card 

complies to PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 specification and supports half/full duplex 

feature which can double network speed. 
 

The AEN100/101 support both 10Mbps and 100Mbps network speed, 

100Base-TX operates on two pairs of category 5 UTP cable and 10Base-T 

operates on Category 3,4,5 UTP cable. 
 

With the Auto-Negotiation technology, network speed is auto detected.   

When you connect it to 10Base-T hub via UTP cable, the network speed 

becomes 10Mbps.  Similarly, if you connect it to 100Base-TX hub, the 

network speed is 100Mbps.    If the hub is a switching hub that supports 

full duplex function, then the speed will be doubled to 20Mbps/200Mbps. 

Real hassle free installation is achieved by conforming to PCI bus.  Just 

plug in the card and all setup is done automatically.    No more software to 

run!

3.x/4.x/5.x, NDIS driver for Microsoft LAN Manager, 

Windows95/98/NT/2000/Me, Linux, and a Packet Driver for TCP/IP 

software.   Whatever your requirements are ease of installation, superior
