EDIMAX EN-9230TX-32 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter User Guide

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. This guide is to provide the installation and usage of this adapter for network installers and users. The Gigabit network adapter complies to 32-bit and supports Half/Full- duplex feature which can double network speed.

This adapter supports 1000Mbps (Gigabit), 100Mbps and 10Mbps network speed, 1000BaseT operates on all four pairs of category 5 UTP cable, 100BaseTX operates on two pairs of category 5 UTP cable and 10BaseT operates on Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP cable.

With the Auto-Negotiation technology, network speed is auto detected. When you connect the adapter to Gigabit Switch or another Gigabit NIC, the speed will be doubled to 2000Mbps (1000Mbps Transmit and 1000Mbps Receive). If you connect the adapter to 100BaseTX hub, the network speed is 100Mbps. Similarly, if the hub is a switching hub which supports full duplex function, then the speed will be doubled to 200Mbps.

This adapter supplies many drivers including Microsoft Windows 98, 98SE, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Netware Server 4.x/5.x/6.x, Netware ODI for DOS, Linux, Unix and MAC OSX 10.2.x/10.3… Whatever your requirements are ease of installation, superior performance or responsive support backed up by unlimited technical support, this adapter is the superior choice.
