4 2. W ake on LAN T echnology The adapter is an ACPI-compliant network adapter that supports the following features: _ Power management interface _ Remote wake-up (R WU) ACPI ( Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) ACPI is a key element in Operating System Directed Power Man- agement. It is a specification developed by Intel, Micro[...]

5 WOL Installation The adapter features : 1. One LAN controller which can support PCI power manage- ment interface and function. 2. One 3-Pin W ake on LAN (WOL) connector (JP2) 3. One PME setting jumper (JP1) 4. One W ake on LAN (WOL) cable The 3-pin WOL connector (JP2) provides an interface to the sys- tem motherboard for auxiliary power and Power[...]

6 3. 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 specifica- tions version 2.0 or later .  An available PCI bus master slot in t[...]

7 5 . Insert the adapter into the slot and secure the screw (see Figure 3-1). 6. Install the WOL cable, if necessary . Refer to 3.2 for the details. 7. Replace the computer cover and reconnect all previously connected cables. Figure 3-1 Inserting the Adapter into the PCI Slot 3.2 Installing W ake on LAN Cable Follow the steps to install the W ake o[...]

8 Figure 3-2 PME Jumper JP1 Setting 4. Locate the 3-Pin WOL connector on the system motherboard. 5. Plug one end of the WOL cable to the 3-Pin WOL connector of the adapter . 6. Plug the other end of the WOL cable to the 3-Pin WOL connector on the system motherboard. Figure 3-3 Installing WOL Cable[...]

9 3.3 Connecting to the Network The rear bracket of the Fast Ethernet adapter contains one RJ-45 connector . The connector is used for either 100Mbps 100BASE- TX connection or 10Mbps 10BASE-T connection. The adapter can sense the connection speed and switch to appropriate operation automatically . Figure 3-4 Network Connector RJ-45 Pin Assignment S[...]

10 10 Mbps Connection For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks, the Fast Ethernet adapter uses Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable. T o establish a valid 10 Mbps connec- tion, the cable must be connected to a 10BASE-T hub. Connect the network cable as follows: 1. Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 10BASE-T adapter . 2. Align[...]

11 100 Mbps Connection For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the adapter supports Category 5 UTP cabling. T o establish a valid 100 Mbps connection, the cable must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub. 1. Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for a standard 100BASE-TX adapter . 2. Align the RJ-45 plug on the end of the UTP cable [...]

12 4. 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. 4.1 Driver Information The adapter driver media contains the latest versions of the network drivers available when the adapter is shipped from the f[...]

13 In addition to the basic drivers, more updated information and driv- ers may be included in the driver media after this guide is published. Please refer to the README.DOC file first for the latest informa- tion before you install any drivers. 4.2 BIOS Setup Before installing the driver, it is recommended to run the system BIOS setup utility to [...]

14 4.3 Installation for Windows 98 System After the driver installation for Windows 98, there are some simple methods to check the installation is proper or not as follows: 1. Check Device Manager in System Properties window Figure 4-1 Device Manager[...]

15 The adapter name shown in Device Manager should be "KF221TX Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter". The installation is proper if there is no "?" or "!" mark ahead of the adapter line. 2. If you are using TCP/IP protocol, you can use Ping command under DOS mode to check the adapter itself. The command is >ping 127.0.0.1 Figu[...]

16 5. LED Indicators Each Fast Ethernet adapter has three LEDs, as shown in Figure 1-2. 5.1 Interpretations The interpretations of the LEDs are: 100Mb LED indicates an active 100Mbps connection is established. O n : Good connection between adapter and 100BASE-TX device Off : No active connection Blink: Not applicable 10Mb LED indicates an active 10[...]
