The Ethernet cable goes into the port shown in the picture after the hardware is placed into the PCI slot on your motherboard. Wire Diagram (Continued) 7 Ethernet Adapter to Network: The `Ethernet Adapter to Network' simply shows how a user can use the EE-100axp to connect to his/her modem/router/switch. One Ethernet cable goes from the computer (connected with the EE-100axp) and out to your modem/router/switch. Ethernet Adapter to another Ethernet Adapter (Peer 2 Peer): The bottom one shows how the connection works when a user wishes to do a peer to peer connection in the network. Simply have both sides connected with an CAT5 crossover cable and setup both computers with IP addresses in your TCP/IP properties For more information on how to setup a Peer to Peer connection please read our FAQ guide. 8 Chapter 2 Before you start: 1. Make sure the computer's power is OFF before putting the EE-100axp LAN Adapter into the PCI slot. 2. Push the card all the way into the PCI slot and make sure it is sit tight and secured. 3. The yellow wire cable (Wake On-LAN) is not important or needed unless the user knows it is in demand (it will not damage or harm your system if its not installed). 4. Upon the hardware installation, check and see if the card is inserted all the way into the PCI slot. 5. If you don't have an extra PCI slot, please remove one of the unused PCI hardware (internal modem, extra hardware that is not being used) and insert the card. 6. You don't really need an external network card, if you have on-board network card in your system already. At less, you require have two network cards install on your system. (EX: set up an Internet Connection sharing server or an VPN server) Install on Microsoft Win 95 / Win 98 (Driver Floppy) 1. Close the computer case and turn the computer ON after you have inserted the EE100axp adapter onto your motherboard. 2. The window will automatically detect the network adapter. Insert the Drive floppy and put in your Win 95 or Win 98 System CD in the CD-ROM, then click Next button. 9 3. Choose "Search for the best driver for your device (Recommended)", and click Next button. 4. Choose"Specify a location", and Click Browse button. Then double click `A: \' and it should pull down a list of driver folders that are on the driver floppy. So double click the folder that matches your operating system. EX: if you have Microsoft Windows 98 then double click the Win98 folder and Press Open. Your screen should look like this: A:\Win98. Click `Next' button when finished. 10 5. Choose "the updated driver (Recommended)", and click Next button. . 11 6. Click Next button for this screen 7. Click OK button for this error message screen 8. Browse "Your Driver Path" again like step 4 above. The driver path should be the same with step 4 screen. EX: If you have win 98 as your O/S, most likely it will show up as A:\win98. Click OK button to continue the installation. * The file "netrts5.cat" is one of the three driver files suppose in your win98 driver folder comes with your driver floppy. Win98: Netrts5.cat, Netrts5.inf, and RTL8139.sys (3 files) Win95: Netrts5.inf and RTL8139.sys (2 files) * Due to "netrts5.cat" is not a require driver file for win95, so you might not be able see the screen below for win95 user. 12 9. Window will automatically copy some system files from your Window system CD EX: win98 * If your windows do missing some system files (Ex: xxx.DLL, xxx.EXE, xxx.VXD...), and your windows couldn't find on your Win 95 or Win 98 system CD. There are always two paths on your windows you can try it in the "Copy files from:" row. This screen should look similar with screen 8 above.
