User manual SMC 1255TX-2

[. . . ] This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. CE-Mark Warning Countries of Operation & Conditions of Use in the European Community SMC contact for these products in Europe is: SMC Networks Spain, S. L. [. . . ] Note: Due to some Plug-and-Play BIOS problems, it happens occasionally that a newly installed adapter is assigned an Interrupt Number which is already used by another device. In such a case, the conflict of Interrupt Number will cause faults in the behavior of both devices. Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-conflict Interrupt Number. 2. 2. 3 Fast Ethernet Connection (100Mbps) Category 5 UTP cable is required for Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) operation. The maximum cable run between the adapter and the supporting hub, switch or router is 300ft (100m). Make the network connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of the adapter, and the other end into one port in the hub, switch or router. 2. 4 Ethernet Connection (10Mbps ) Category 3, Category 4, and Category 5 UTP cable, as well as EIA/TIA 568 100 ohm STP cable is required for Ethernet (10Mbps) operation. The maximum cable length run between this adapter and the supporting hub, switch or router is 300 ft (100m). Make the network connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of this adapter, and the other end into the hub, switch or router. 2. 5 Drivers and Utilities CD The [Divers/Manual] CD contains drivers for all popular operating systems: Novell NetWare(client /server) Windows NT3. 5/NT4. 0/2000 Windows 95/98/ME/XP/Vista/Win7 Microsoft Client (NDIS 2. 0 DOS/OS2) Windows For Workgroup 3. 11 MacOS 10. 1 Linux Kernel 2. 4 or later 2. 6 Test Program Note: The test program can not be used in Windows 95/98 DOS mode. Do not load any device drivers, memory manager, and anti-virus software. The test program can only work in clean DOS prompt. This test program verifies the configuration of the adapter and helps to isolate any faults in the operation. The test procedures are optional, and will only be useful in the unlikely event that there is a problem, such as an interrupt number conflict among your computer's add-on cards. If your adapter provides normal operation, you don't need to follow the test procedures. At your DOS prompt, type the following command (considering your CD-ROM drive is E:): E:\rset8139. exe <Enter> A menu will open as follows below: View Current Configuration Set Up New Configuration Run Diagnostics Exit RSET8139 Choose <Set Up New Configuration> to set up the Network Speed, 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and Transmission Mode, Full- or Half Duplex, and so on. Choose <Run Diagnostics> to run the adapter test program. Adapter test program includes: <Run EEPROM Test>, <Run Diagnostics on Board>, <Run Diagnostics on Network>, and <Run Power Management Test>. After choosing the <Run Diagnostics on Board>, you will see the following screen: Node ID. . . . . . . . : 00 e0 7d c0 00 01 Network Speed. . : 100Mbps I/O Base . . . . . . : E000H Interrupt . . . . . : 11 Full-Duplex . . . : Disabled Pass Count A. Cable Connection Fail Count <Cable Connection> test shows you that the connection link might fail because either the cable is not connected or the cable link fails. For the <Run Diagnostics on Network> test, it is necessary to connect your computer with a supporting hub, switch, router or another computer. This test cannot be completed unless there are minimum two computers on the LAN for sending or receiving the test packets. For the <Run Diagnostics On Network> test Ethernet Address 00E07DC00002 Target Machine Ethernet Address 00E07DC00001 Master Machine Network Master Machine: Master machine sends magic packet or Wake up frame through the network. Target Machine: Target machine is notified whenever a qualified wakeup packet is received. To Wake-Up The Target Machine With A Magic Packet Step1: Target Machine: Check BIOS <POWER MANGEMENT SETUP> ACPI, Wake-On-LAN function must be enabled. Step2: Target Machine: Select <Target Machine> then the system will setup a wake-up event and wait for a magic packet to do the system wake-up Step3: Master Machine: Select <Magic Packet> to send a magic packet and wake-up the target machine. The MAC address of the target machine is required, such as: 00 e0 7d c0 00 02. [. . . ] After Microsoft Windows rebooted, the PCI Adapter will be found and the system will assign the default network driver to the adapter. Select "Control Panel" from "Start" menu bar 6. Select "Network and Dial-Up Connection" folder then click "Local Area Connection" and "Properties". Click "Configure" item and select "Driver" 8. [. . . ]
