Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Overview of the product

The TF-3200 10/100M PCI Network Adapter is a highly integrated and cost-effective Fast

Ethernet Adapter that provides 32-bit performance, PCI bus controller, and full compliance with

IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX specifications and IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex

Flow.

The TF-3200 keeps low cost and eliminates usage barriers. It is the easiest way to upgrade a

network from 10 to 100Mbps. Supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps network speed both in

Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex transfer modes, using Auto-Negotiation technology to detect the

network speed. It also can be widely used in most modern Operating System.
