<Note>
i. Do not install the TE100-PCIFC in a shared PCI slot. Avoid any PCI slot next to an ISA slot because this
is often a shared slot and does not support bus mastering.
ii. If you are going to install the Remote Wake-Up cable, choose an available PCI slot most close to the 3-
pin Remote Wake-Up connector on the PC motherboard.
iii. If you have problems in identifying a suitable slot, check your PC documentation or ask your system
administrator for help.
Step 9: Carefully insert the TE100-PCIFC into the chosen slot and press firmly with proper push
to ensure it is fully seated in the slot.
Step 10: Secure the TE100-PCIFC with the screw you saved in step 8.
<Note> If you wish to use the Remote Wake-Up function, please complete the installation in next section
“Connecting the Remote Wake-Up Cable” before proceeding to step 10.
Step 11: Replace the PC cover.
Step 12: Proceed to “Connecting to Your Network” section.

Connecting Remote Wake-Up Cable
The unit support optional Wake-on-Lan magic packet feature. Proceed with the
installation only when your PC supports this remote wake-up and you wish to
use this function. If your PCI bus supports version 2.2 or higher, there is no
Wake-Up cable required. The feature can be enabled without using the cable.
For more detail information, please check the User’s Guide of your Motherboard.
Wake-on-LAN magic packet
Step 1: Make sure the power to the PC is off.
Step 2: Check if the TE100-PCIFC is properly installed in a PCI slot.
Step 3: Prepare a Remote Wake-Up cable. Connect the cable from TE100-PCIFC to motherboard
connector.
Step 4: Replace the PC cover.
Step 5: Proceed to “Connecting to Your Network” Section.
Connect Remote Wake-Up cable from TE100-PCIFC to motherboard connector.
Plug in Remote Wake-Up cable to connector on Ethernet Adapter.

Connecting to Your Network
Fiber Adapter
This section describes how to connect the Fiber Adapter to a 100 Mbps fiber-
based Ethernet network, which contributes to its optimal performance.
<Note>
You must connect the Fiber Adapter to the network before installing the network driver.
Step 1: Remove the protective cover from the TE100-PCIFC fiber connector.
Step 2: Prepare a network cable with corresponding connectors for the two end devices, one end
to the Fiber Adapter and the other to a 100Mbps fiber port on the network hub or switch.
Step 3: Connect the network cable to the connector on the Fiber Adapter. This network cable
consists of two individual cables: one for ‘transmission (TX)’, and the other for ‘reception
(RX)’.
Step 4: Connect the other end of the network cable to a 100Base-FX hub or a switch.
<Note>
i. Insert the cable that is connected to the transmit (TX) connector on the Fiber Adapter into the receive (RX)
connector on the network hub or switch.
ii. Insert the cable that is connected to the receive (RX) connector on the Fiber Adapter into the transmit (TX)
connector on the network hub or switch.
Step 5: When the cable is properly connected to two end devices, turn on the power to the PC.
Step 6: Check the LNK (Link) LED. The LED will come on when the Fiber Adapter is receiving
a good link signal from the connected device, a hub or switch.
