Hardware Setup

The one-piece EtherFast 10/100 + 56K Modem PC
Card consists of both a PCMCIA-style PC Card and an
integrated cable coupler. It is different from most PC
cards that have a snap-on pigtail coupler, or "dongle".
The integrated design means that you can take your PC
Card anywhere and you never have to worry about los-
ing or breaking your coupler.
The PC Card has two cable ports -- one for RJ-45
10/100 network connections, and one RJ-11 port for
connecting the LANmodem to a telephone line for dial-
up Internet access.

Installing the Hardware

Follow the directions below to install the 10/100 + 56K
Modem PC Card unit.
1. Turn off your PC and any devices attached to it. Your
computer may support hot swapping, which allows
PCMCIA cards to be inserted or removed while the
PC's power is on. If this is the case, you don't need to
turn your PC off when inserting the 10/100 + 56K
Modem PC Card. If you aren't sure whether your PC
supports this function, always turn the computer off
before inserting or removing cards.
2. Plug a standard RJ-11 telephone cable into the
10/100 + 56K Modem PC Card's telephone plug. Next,
connect the telephone cable into a standard telephone
wall jack.
3. Connect a RJ-45 UTP cable into the PC Card's RJ-45
port (the larger of the two ports on the coupler). The
port will automatically sense between 10Mbps and
