Introduction
Section One
Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of an Ositech Trumpcard Ethernet LAN
PC Card! We believe you will find it a superior quality product that will
meet or exceed your Networking needs.
The Trumpcard Ethernet LAN PC Card is a convenient, dual-media,
credit-card sized adapter that provides an interface between a PCMCIA
capable computer and an Ethernet Network.
Direct connection to a 10BaseT Network is possible via a 10BaseT
PCMCIA cable only. For 10Base2 connections, a Media Access Module is
required. Two styles of connectors are provided on the Media Access
Module, enabling connection to the Network using RJ-45 to connect to
10BaseT, or BNC to connect to 10Base2.
Note: This manual is intended as a supplement to the manual(s) supplied
with your Network system software. Use that document as the primary
reference source for information about your Network.

Hardware Installation
Section Two
Hardware Installation
Unpack the Trumpcard Ethernet LAN hardware, and follow the steps
listed below to install it on your computer. Instructions are included for
both 10BaseT twisted-pair and 10Base2 thin coax Ethernet Network
operations.
Preparing for Installation
To install the Trumpcard, you require the accompanying diskettes and the
following items:
• A computer equipped with a PCMCIA Release 2.0, Type II PC
Card slot.
• PCMCIA Card and Socket Services Version 2.x or higher,
installed. This is optional since the Trumpcard can be operated
without Card and Socket Services.
• A Network operating system that is supported by the Trumpcard
Network drivers.
• For 10Base2 (thin coax) Networks, a coaxial T-connector and a
terminator if at the end of the coaxial segment.
•For 10BaseT (twisted pair) Networks, a twisted pair Network cable
terminated with an RJ-45 connector when using the Media Access
Module for 10BaseT connections.

Section Two
Installing the Trumpcard Ethernet LAN
The Trumpcard Ethernet LAN can be inserted into a computer whether the
power is ON or OFF.
Follow these steps:
•Orient the Trumpcard so that the 68-pin connector is next to the
PCMCIA slot of the computer.
•Insert the Trumpcard into the slot until it is firmly seated.
Note: These are general installation instructions that apply to most
computers. Please refer to the manual accompanying your computer
for any additional instructions on installing PC Card adapters.
Note: The Trumpcard is keyed to go in one way only. If you feel resistance
before it is fully inserted, remove it, turn it over, and re-insert it.
