Configure the Boot ROM address using JP5A, JP5B, JP5C, and JP5D as per the provided guidelines.
Interrupt Request (IRQ) Settings:
Se the IRQ by configuring JP6A, JP6B, JP6C, and JP6D based on the desired interrupt request.
Cable Type Configuration:
Configure the cable type using JP7 to ensure proper connectivity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
- Q: What should I do if my system does not work with the NIC card?
A: If your system does not work with the card, enable compatibility mode by closing Pins 1 & 2 of JP3. - Q: How can I check the network connection status?
A: LED1 indicates the twisted pair network connection status. If it is on, the connection is good; if off, there may be a connection issue. - Q: What does LED3 indicate?
