Hardware Description

Accton’s Ethernet PC Card is a "feature-packed" credit card-

sized adapter for PCMCIA-compliant personal computers.

The card comes in two models (two media couplers to choose

from):
• EtherPair-PCMCIA (EN2216-1)

• EtherDuo-PCMCIA (EN2216-2)
The EtherPair-PCMCIA has a single RJ-45 (10BASE-T) port

for unshielded twisted-pair connection, while the EtherDuo-

PCMCIA has an RJ-45 and BNC (10BASE2) connector.
This product features NE2000 compatibility. You can use the

provided drivers in the driver diskette or use standard NE2000

network drivers.

LED Indicators

The following LEDs are found on both the EtherPair-PCMCIA

and EtherDuo-PCMCIA media couplers.

Transmit/Receive LED

Color:

Green

Function: Monitors signals transmitted to and received from

the network.

The green LED labeled Tx/Rx lights up to indicate that the

Ethernet PC Card is transmitting or receiving signals from the

network. The rate of flashing is proportional to the amount of

network traffic.

Link LED

Color:

Green

Function: Monitors link status of card's twisted-pair

connection.

This LED lights up to indicate that a valid 10BASE-T link is

established. It is always on under normal operating conditions.

If the LED is off after power is applied, check the RJ-45 port's

cable connection.
