Preface
Thank you for purchasing TEG-ECTX and TEG-ECSX. This
manual describes how to install and use the PCI Express Gigabit
Adapter. The PCI Express Gigabit Adapter allows you to use either
RJ-45 or fiber cable to connect to network.
The TEG-ECTX/TEG-ECSX is a high performance network adapter
that supports advanced management and power savings
functionality for system administrators. The TEG-ECSX has SC
type port allow you connects Multi-Mode fiber devices at distances
of up to 550m (1804ft.)
Full-Duplex technology generates data rates of up to 2Gbps over a
motherboard’s high-speed PCI Express Bus architecture. Jumbo
Frame support further optimizes throughput performance.
Supports SNMP v1, Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) 2.1,
and Wake-on-LAN (WOL, for TEG-ECTX only). Optimize
network performance with VLAN tagging and Layer 2 Priority
Tagging. Optimizes power consumption with advanced
Configuration Power Management Interface 2.0 (ACPI) technology.

Connecting to your Network
For TEG-ECTX
Step 1: Connect a Cat5e Cable from the computer to an available
Ethernet port on your router or switch.
Step 2: When the cable is properly connected to the devices, turn
the power on.
Step 3: Check the LNK (Link) LED. The LED will be blinking
when the PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is
receiving a good link signal from the connected device
For TEG-ECSX
Step 1: Connect a SC-type multi-mode cable from the TEG-ECSX
to a Gigabit fiber converter.
Step 2: Connect an Ethernet cable from the fiber converter to a
Gigabit Ethernet port on your Gigabit switch.
Step 3: When the cable is properly connected to the devices, turn
the power on.
Step 4: Check the LNK (Link) LED. The LED will be blinking
when the PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is
receiving a good link signal from the connected device
Note: Make sure the TX and RX cables are reversed on the
opposing connection.
