Power-Saving Modes

The PRO/100 PC Card has two power-saving modes to reduce adapter

power consumption under certain conditions: Network-only mode and

Modem-only mode.

Network-only mode disables the modem function on the PRO/100. This

mode should only be used when the modem will not be needed. Modem-

only mode disables the network function on the PRO/100. It should only

be used when the network will not be needed. When the adapter is set for

either mode, it remains in that mode until re-configured to a different

mode.

To specify a power-saving mode under Windows NT 4.0, select Network

from Control Panel, select the Adapters tab, select the Intel EtherExpress

PRO/100 LAN+Modem PC Card, click Properties, and select a mode in

Power-Saving Options/Function(s) (Network & Modem is the default).

Under Windows NT 3.51, select Network from Control Panel, select the

Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 LAN+Modem PC Card, click Configure,

and select a mode in Power-Saving Options/Functons(s).

Utilities

Several utilities are provided with the PRO/100 PC Card that run under

Microsoft Windows or MS-DOS:

• Country Identifier utility (Windows 95, NT, 3.x)
• Modem test (Windows 95, NT, 3.x)
• Diagnostic test (MS-DOS)

installing Windows NT version 3.51. Icons for these utilities are also

installed in the Windows program group at the time of installation. See
