AST Ethernet                                        AST Part Number 202171-001

The AST Ethernet is a 16-bit network adapter for use in the IBM PC/XT/AT and
100% Compatibles.  This board conforms to the IEEE 802.3 standard, and can use
either thin wire coax (50 ohm) or thick wire for increased performance.

Most of the configuration for the AST Ethernet adapter is handled by
software.  The program SSCONFIG sets the IRQ, I/O address, ROM address, etc. 
Without the software, configuring this product is not really possible.  The
AST Part Number for the configuration software is 910230-001.

The jumper-selectable options are listed below.


JUMPER SETTINGS

    E1 - "Sleep" Jumper
        When this jumper is removed, it is the same as removing
        the board from the system.  This helps when troubleshooting
        potential conflicts.

    E4 thru E9 - Cable Type
        Place all six of these jumpers on 1 & 2 (upper pair) if you
        are using standard ethernet cable ("D" connector).  If you are
        using thin-wire cabling (COAX connector), connect all six
        jumpers to position 2 & 3.  The factory default for this board
        is thin-wire cable.

    E10 thru E13 - SSCONFIG Board Assignment
        Up to four Ethernet boards can be configured at once by the
        Smart Switch software.  If more than one board is to be
        configured at the same time, each one must have a distinct
        board assignment.
