Introduction Thank you for choosing the 4-Port 10/100M NWay Ethernet Switch Card. This Introduction chapter will be useful if you are new to Fast Ethernet, Switch and other new technology featured by the 4-Port 10/100M NWay Ethernet Switch Card. Otherwise, skip ahead to the Installation chapter.
(these exchanges are ordinarily played out through a speaker in your local modem). As irritating as those few seconds of noise may be, they do let you know that your modem and the remote modem are on the job, preparing for your intended communication with the remote computer.

When the preparatory procedure of auto-negotiation is completed, then the line is ready and will provide a data channel that is optimal for the two devices. The line will remain ready without further auto- negotiation action until the linkage is broken.
For Fast Ethernet Networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating problems of chaining hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit.” A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different collision domains, making it possible to expand your Fast Ethernet Network beyond the 205-meter network diameter limit for 100BASE- TX networks.
Product Features Designed for versatility and performance, the 4-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch Card provides the following features: • PCI Bus Master memory access, for high throughput and low CPU demand. • Complies with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, IEEE 802.3u 100BASE- TX standards.

1. Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover. 2. If your order does not include the Boot ROM option, go ahead to Step 3. If your order includes the Boot ROM option, then install the Boot ROM Chip by plugging the chip into the Boot ROM Socket on the 4-Port 10/100Mbps NWay Ethernet Switch Card.
LED Indicators Link/Activity (LINK/ACT): This LED indicator lights green when there is a secure connection (or link) to a device at the port. The LED indicators blink green whenever there is reception or transmission of data occurring at a port.
When the push button is pressed in, the port is configured for uplink wiring. Configuring the ports allows direct connection to a server or PC, or to another switch or a hub to form a network backbone.
