10BASE-T wiring considerations.
Use four-pair Category 3, 4, or 5
twisted-pair cable and RJ-45 connector for 10BASE-T.
100BASE-TX wiring considerations.
The 100BASE-TX specification
supports 100 Mbps transmission over two pairs of twisted pair
Ethernet (TPE) wiring. In two-pair wiring, one pair of wires is
used for transmission, and the second is used for collision
detection and receive.
Because a 125 MHz frequency is used on the wire, 100BASE-TX
calls for Category 5 (CAT 5) wiring.
Segment lengths are limited to 100 meters with 100BASE-TX
for signal timing reasons.

Configure drivers
Most of the network software manufacturers provide an
installation program that allows you to configure your computer
by making dialog-box choices. As part of the network
installation, the install script will prompt for the adapter card
driver files. The driver files for the AT-2560TX 10/100 PCI are
found on the Allied Telesyn CardAssistant diskette, which you
will be prompted to insert into a floppy drive.
