UTP cable should meet the following requirements:
1. Solid copper
2. Nominal capacitance: less than 16pF/ft
3. Nominal impedance: 100 ohms
4. Nominal attenuation: less than 11.5db
Automatic Selection of the Media Type
While the driver installs, it automatically detects the media t ype based on the type
of cable connected. Once you change the cable type, you must reinstall the driver
to execute auto-detect again.
If the driver cannot detect which cable is connected or whether a cable is
connected, look at cabling network driver (Ex. Modify net.cfg file
parameters—force line speed=10 or 100).
10/100 Auto – Negotiation (N-Way)
Depending on the hub or connected device, the LAN adapter can automatically run
at the appropriate speed, by using N-way, a feature that complies with the
IEEE802.3 standard. It also works with any of the other IEEE-compliant products.
5-6. Remote BOOT ROM Installation Guide
A BOOT ROM allows the computer to boot up over the network, instead of using
the local operating system device. This enables the system to be a diskless
workstation environment.
1. Make sure the BOOT ROM is properly oriented. Incorrect orientation may
damage the chip!
2. Use the utility of RSET8139.exe to enable the BOOT ROM.
3. Reboot the system to use the BOOT ROM function.
BOOT ROM Type:
Once the PCI system detects the presence of a BOOT ROM chip on the adapter
during boot-up, it will automatically set a working configuration. Supports 64K
FLASH ROMs (PLCC Type)for an upgrade BOOT ROM.
