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.
1.3 Model Definitions Model Connector Fiber Cables FX-T Standard MMF up to 2km FX-C Standard MMF up to 2km FX-JM Standard MT-RJ MMF up to 2km FX-VM Standard VF-45 MMF up to 2km FX-L Standard MMF up to 2km FX-SA2 Standard SMF up to 20km FX-SL2...
1.4 Board Components Figure 1-1 shows the major components on the adapter. The following table describes these components. Components Description fiber connectors The connectors require fiber cable for 100 Mbps connection. Link LED This LED lights when the connection is established.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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. The settings allow the adapter to wake up the computer out of standby state when receiving magic packets or Ping packets.
3.4 Installation for other Systems Refer to \README.TXT first in the driver diskette for the driver installation on other operating system. The file contains driver information for most of the popular operating systems.
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. 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 sepa-rately. The adapter boot ROM supports both PXE and RPL proto-cols at the same time.
