TG-3468 keeps low cost and eliminates usage barriers. It is the easiest way to upgrade a network from 10/100Mbps to 1000 Mbps. It supports 10/100Mbps network speed automatically both in Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex transfer modes, and 1000Mbps in Full-Duplex transfer modeusing Auto-Negotiation technology to detect the network speed. It can be widely used in most modern Operating Systems and includes a boot ROM for Diskless Workstations, 1. 2 Features Integrated 10/100/1000Mbps transceiver Support PCI Express 1. 0a Fully compliant with IEEE 802. 3, IEEE 802. 3u, IEEE802. 3ab Auto-Negotiation with Next Page capability Support pair swap/polarity/skew correction Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction Wake-on-LAN and remote wake-up support 1 Microsoft NDIS5 Checksum Offload (IP, TCP, UDP) and Largesend Offload support Support Full Duplex flow control (IEEE802. 3X) Support IEEE 802. 1p Layer 2 Priority Encoding and IEEE802. 1Q VLAN tagging Support power down/link down power saving 1. 3 LED Status There are four LEDs, including a 10Mbps Link/Act LED, a 100Mbps Link/Act LED, a 1000Mbps Link/Act LED and a Full Duplex Mode LED. The Link/Act LEDs of TG-3468 PCI-E 10/100/1000M LAN Card indicates Link/Act status. They will light when connection has been built, and glitter when the adapter transmits or receives data. [. . . ] Suggestion: Check to see if the network adapter is inserted in the PCI Express slot properly and reinsert the adapter. If the problem remained, please try to change another PCI Express slot. The network adapter cannot work normally. Suggestion: Reinstall the adapter driver. [. . . ]
