1. Introduction The 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter is a 32-bit LAN adapter for use in personal computers with PCI computer bus slots. It also features Wake on LAN function for ACPI-compliant system. This adapter features fiber connectors for a 100 Mbps IEEE 802.3u Ethernet network connection over optical fiber cable. The series provides different fiber transceiver types supporting short, middle, and long reach applications. 1.1 Adapter Features - PCI revision 2.1 and 2.
1.2 Specifications Network port std.: PCI slot: ACPI std.: PCI Power Management: Operating temperature: Operating humidity: IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-FX PCI 2.2 Rev.1.1 Rev.1.1 0o to 40oC 10% to 90% non-condensing 1.
1.4 Board Components Figure 1-1 shows the major components on the adapter. The following table describes these components. No. Components Description 1 fiber connectors The connectors require fiber cable for 100 Mbps connection. 2 Link LED This LED lights when the connection is established. 3 Act. LED This LED lights when network data is transmitted or received. 4 FDX LED This LED indicates full duplex operation is in process.
1.5 Wake On LAN Technology The adapter is an ACPI-compliant network adapter that supports the following features: - Power management interface - Remote wake-up (RWU) ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) ACPI is a key element in Operating System Directed Power Management. It is a specification developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba Corp which allows more advanced power management features through the operating system to the hardware interfaces.
Wake-up Methods The adapter supports the following wake-up methods: - Magic packet wake-up The adapter can accept magic packets from network and walkup the computer at standby state or shutdown state. - Link change wake-up The adapter can sense link up event and walk-up the computer from standby state. - Ping packet The adapter can accept a ping packet and walk-up the Windows computer from standby state. Wake-On-LAN (WOL) Installation The adapter features : 1.
For PCI 2.2 Systems JP1 WOL connector and WOL cable are not required. WOL feature is accomplished through PCI 2.2 bus interface. To support remote wake-up, the system motherboard must be featured with RWU or WOL support in hardware and BIOS. Refer to your system motherboard manual to determine if it is remote wakeup capable. Enable Adapter's Wake-On-LAN Function The Wake-On-LAN function of the adapter is enabled with factory default setting.
2. Installing the Adapter This chapter describes how to install the Fast Ethernet PCI adapter in a PCI computer and how to connect the adapter to the network. Before installing the adapter, you need the following: - A computer system that is compliant with the PCI specifications version 2.1 or later. - An available PCI bus master slot in the computer - A Wake on LAN cable (supplied with the adapter) - The adapter driver diskettes (or CD supplied with the adapter) - Fiber cables 2.
Inserting the Adapter into the PCI Slot 2.2 Configuring Wake-On-LAN If your system is a PCI 2.2 complaint system, no extra installation for WOL is required. The WOL interface is accomplished through the PCI bus interface directly. If your system is a PCI 2.1 complaint system, follow these steps: 1. Make sure your system motherboard is RWU capable. 2. Make sure WOL function is enabled in the system BIOS. 3. Locate the 3-Pin WOL connector on the system motherboard. 4.
Installing WOL Cable Note: The adapter provides PME signal with high active level. Make sure PME setting in BIOS options is properly set if it is available. 2.3 Connecting to the Network The rear bracket of the Fast Ethernet adapter contains two fiber connectors. The connector labeled "TX" is used for transmission and the other one labeled "RX" is used for reception.
When connecting to a 100BASE-FX device using fiber cable, make sure the TX connector of the adapter is connected to the RX connector of the device and RX connector is connected to the TX connector of the device. Connecting 100BASE-FX Fiber Cable In order to have a reliable communication between two ends, the speed and duplex configuration of the adapter's FX port and the device at the remote end must be same.
3. Network Driver Installation After making the connection to the network, you must install the adapter network driver in order to connect the Fast Ethernet adapter to your network operating system. 3.1 Driver Information The adapter driver media contain the latest versions of the network drivers available when the adapter is shipped from the factory. A file, \README.
3.3 Installation for Windows Systems For adapter installation on Windows XP, Windows 2000, WinME systems, the system will detect and configure the drivers for the adapter automatically with no need for extra driver setup.
Link Speed/Duplex Mode options : Auto Mode FX port becomes 100M Full Duplex 100 Half Mode FX port becomes 100M Half Duplex Note: other options are not recommended. To apply Wake-On-Lan function, set [Power Management] option of the Adapter driver Properties: [ x ] Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby. [ x ] Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
4. LED Indicators Each Fast Ethernet adapter has three LEDs. The functions are: 4.1 Interpretations The interpretations of the LEDs are: Link LED indicates an active 100Mbps connection is established. On : Good link between the adapter and a remote device Off : No connection between adapter and a remote device Blink: Not applicable Activity LED indicates packets are being received or transmitted.
Appendix A.1 Installing Remote Boot ROM Before you can use the remote boot function, you have to setup the remote boot service on the file server and install the remote boot ROM onto the adapter. The remote boot ROM is optional and must be purchased separately. The adapter boot ROM supports both PXE and RPL protocols at the same time. Consult your dealer for the availability. To install the boot ROM, make sure the notch of the boot ROM is in the same direction as the notch of the socket on the adapter.
