Chapter 1 Introduction  
With Gigabit technology, PLANET ENW-3700 provides the most convenient way to power up the  
network speed of notebooks and laptops with the least efforts and costs. Using ENW-3700, you can  
send and receive data at speeds up to ten times of 100Mbps network and 100 times of 802.11b WLAN  
throughput.  
The ENW-3700 is a CardBus Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed to address high-performance system  
application requirements. With Auto-MDI/MDI-X function, users don't need to concern about the cable  
type while connecting to different LAN devices. It is capable of detecting the signal and changes its  
transfer/receive order on the cable automatically. Moreover, ENW-3700 can auto-sense and adjust the  
current network speed, thus eliminates the requirements for manually switching. Its driver supports the  
most popular operating systems, such as Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Server2003, Linux and Novell  
4.x/5.x/6.x. Lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) with high performance, the ENW-3700 is now the  
best choice of your powerful notebooks and laptop PCs.
