Before You Begin your Installation
The product you have purchased is designed to
be easily installed into most IBM PC or
compatible systems. Many products have large,
easy-to-read legends to allow for the easy
configuring of the product. This installation
manual contains detailed instructions. Most
included software has automatic installation programs to place the
software correctly onto your computer. However, as all computers are
configured differently, you may be required to perform some basic
DOS or Windows tasks. If you are not familiar with basic DOS
commands such as DIR, CD, or EDIT, you should check your DOS
manual, or seek assistance from you local computer dealer to install
the product.
How to get Technical Assistance
The dealer that you purchased this product or your computer from is
the first place you should go for technical
assistance. The dealer is usually the most
qualified source of help, and is most familiar
with your system and how this product
should be installed. Many dealers have
customer service and technical support programs, with varying levels
of support offered, depending on your needs and computer
knowledge. Please contact the dealer first whenever a problem
occurs.
If your Dealer Can’t Assist you
If you can’t get assistance from your dealer, the manufacturer
provides varying levels of technical assistance as summarized on the
following page.

Damaged or Missing Items
We use many world-class quality assurance programs to ensure the
product you purchased is of the highest caliber. Sometimes, however,
a component may be missing from the box, or is damaged or corrupt
in some way. If this happens, immediately return the entire package
to your place of purchase so you may exchange it for a new one. Your
dealer should be able to provide you with an exchange far more
quickly than by contacting us directly. If for some reason you are
unable to return the product directly to its place of purchase, refer to
the “Servicing Your Product” and “Warranty” sections in this manual
for instructions.

computer ISA-bus (or compatible) to an Ethernet network. The
10Base-T adapter (BE2000/T) provides an RJ45 for connecting
to an unshielded twisted-pair network (10Base-T). The Combo

• High-performance, highly integrated one-chip solution
• On-board support for connecting to a 10Base-T network
(BE2000/T) or 10Base2 (BE2000/2).
• Designed to work with 286, and high-speed 386 and 486-
based systems
• Jumperless adapter—all features such as interrupt channel,
memory address, and I/O address are software-selectable.
• Easy installation and maintenance.
• Uses existing NE2000 drivers—no need to install new
drivers.
• Low-cost solution for networks requiring 10Base-T or
10Base2 connection.
• One link/receive status LED indicator and one transmit
status LED indicator.
• NE2000-compatible.
