                           ETHER PCI Ethernet Card
		       Windows NT V3.1 Driver programs
		       ===============================

***********************************************

The ETHER PCI Ethernet Cards driver for Windows NT 3.1 is contained
in this diskette as follows:

\NT31\ETHPCI.SYS    : NDIS 3.0 driver for Windows NT
\NT31\OEMSETUP.INF  : OEMSETUP file for Windows NT
\NT31\ETHPCI.HLP    : Help file for driver installation
\DISK1

Installation Procedure:
-----------------------
(1)  In the "Main" window, Select <Control Panel> ---> <Network> --->
     <Add Adapter>

(2)  Windows NT will present a list of all available drivers.
     Select OTHERS for 3rd party adapters not in the driver list.

(3)  Windows NT will ask for the drive/path containing the Windows
     NT drivers.  Insert the  driver diskette in drive A, and then
     type the following

     A:\NT31

(4)  Windows NT will attempt to locate an OEMSETUP.INF file in the specified
     path. If you have entered the path name correctly, Windows NT should copy
     the appropriate drivers to the Windows NT system.

(5)  A window will appear allowing you to specify your network connection type.

     Choose the " [ETH100/ETHPCI]:AutoDetect" option. The driver will auto
     detect the media that is connecting to the adapter.

     Since this driver initializes using the base I/O address and interrupt
     vector set by the PCI BIOS, you do not need to specify the Platform type,
     Slot number, or Interrupt number (IRQ).

(6)  At this point, the drivers would have been properly copied and the
     installation would proceed to the next step.  Please refer to your
     Windows NT installation guide for the correct procedure.

(7)  After the initial installation, the drivers will be permanently
     copied to the Windows NT system.  Subsequent network driver lists will
     already contain the drivers.


ConnectionType:
------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ETHPCI
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

  o AutoDetect			In AutoDetect mode the driver
				checks first the Twisted Pair port.
				If the Link Test fails the driver
				checks the BNC port. If no carrier is
				detected the driver switches back to
				Twisted pair port.

  o Twisted_Pair (10BaseT)

  o Twisted_Pair Full_Duplex	To connect to Full Duplex hubs

  o Twisted_Pair No_Link_Test	To connect hubs not supporting
				the Link Integrity Test

  o BNC (10Base2)		BNC connector


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ETHPCI-D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

  o AutoSense			Senses dynamically the media ports
				supported by the adapter. The precedence
				is TP,BNC

  o AutoSense Nway		Same mode than Autosense with
				TP's Nway negotiation enabled.
  o Twisted_Pair (10BaseT)

  o Twisted_Pair Nway		Twisted_Pair with Nway negotation
				enabled.

  o Twisted_Pair Full_Duplex	To connect to Full Duplex hubs

  o Twisted_Pair No_Link_Test	To connect hubs not supporting
				the Link Integrity Test

  o BNC (10Base2)		BNC connector



-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ETHER-100TX
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  o AutoSense		       Senses dynamically the media ports
			       ( 100M or 10M port)
			       Check first the 100BaseTx mode, if link
			       test fail than check the 10BaseT mode.


  o 100BaseTx		       To connect 100BaseTx Ethernet hubs

  o 100BaseTx Full_Duplex      To connect 100BaseTx Full Duplex hubs

  o 100BaseT4		       To connect 100BaseT4 Ethernet hubs

  o 100BaseFx		       To connect 100BaseFx Ethernet hubs

  o 10BaseT		       To connect 10BaseT Ethernet hubs

  o 10BaseT Full_Duplex        To connect 10BaseT Full Duplex hubs
