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.
Remote Wake-up (RWU)
The Remote Wake-up feature is provided by Wake on LAN (WOL) technology that
resides in a network adapter and on the system motherboard in a LAN environment.
When the system is in standby or suspended state, the network adapter continuously
monitors the network and watches for a wake-up packet. When it receives the
packets, it alerts the system, which then comes to a full power state and stands
ready for maintenance or other tasks.
Wake-up Methods
The adapter supports the following wake-up methods:
Magic packet wake-up
The adapter can accept magic packets from network and walk-up 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. One LAN controller which can support PCI power management interface and
function.
2. One 3-Pin Wake on LAN (WOL) connector (JP1) for PCI 2.1 system
3. One Wake on LAN (WOL) cable for PCI 2.1 system

For PCI 2.1 Systems (or earlier 2.0 systems)
The 3-pin WOL connector (JP1) provides an interface to the PCI 2.1 compliant
system motherboard for auxiliary power and Power Management Enable signal
through the WOL cable. One 3-pin WOL connector must be also provided on the
motherboard. To install the cable, refer to section 2.2 for the details.
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 fea-tured with RWU
or WOL support in hardware and BIOS. Refer to your system motherboard manual
to determine if it is remote wake-up capable.
Enable Adapter's Wake-On-LAN Function
The Wake-On-LAN function of the adapter is enabled with factory default setting.
RSET8139 program provided in the supplied driver diskette can be used to check
and set Wake-On-LAN configuration of the adapter.
Operating System Setup
In addition to the RWU-capable motherboard, an ACPI supported operating system,
such as Windows XP/ 2000/ ME/ 95/ 98 is also required to achieve RWU
functionality.

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)
A fiber cable
2.1 Installing the Adapter

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. Plug one end of the WOL cable to the 3-Pin WOL connector of the adapter.
5. Plug the other end of the WOL cable to the 3-Pin WOL connector on the
system motherboard.
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.
Network Connectors
When connecting to a 100BASE-FX device using fiber cable, make sure the TX
connector of the adapter is connected to the RX con-nector 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. Configure the driver of the adapter as follows:
Link/Speed Setup 100BASE-FX Connection
Auto Mode 100Mbps, Full duplex
100M_Half 100Mbps, Half duplex
Other settings are not suggested.

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.TXT,
located in the diskette's root directory con-tains a list of the supported driver
software and the directory struc-tures for the supported operating environments.
Please refer to this file first before installing any network driver for the adapter.
3.2 BIOS Setup
Before installing the driver, it is recommended to run the system BIOS setup utility
to check each PCI slot that contains a Fast Ethernet PCI adapter for the following
PCI settings:
1. Enable/disable the PCI slot : make sure the PCI slot is enabled for the adapter.
2. Assign an IRQ number : make sure the IRQ number does not conflict with
other add-in adapters.
3. Enable the RWU or WOL function in BIOS, if it is available. In some
