Step 1: Step 2: Remove the protective covers from the Fiber Adapter's connector. 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. 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)'. Connect the other end of the network cable to a 100BASE-FX hub or a switch. Step 3: Step 4: <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. 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: Step 6: When the cable is properly connected to two end devices, turn on the power to the PC. The LED will come on when the Fiber Adapter is receiving a good link signal from the connected device, a hub or switch. Step 7: Proceed to next section for installing the network driver. 10 User's Guide Fiber Ethernet Adapter Cabling Requirements For cabling requirements and maximum segment distance when connecting the Fiber Adapter to your network, please refer to the Ordering Information on page 18.

This program MUST be run under pure DOS. Press <SPACE> to continue. Step 2: The Main Menu is as shown below: 12 User's Guide Fiber Ethernet Adapter About Hardware's Configuration Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Choose "View Current Configuration" from the Main Menu and press <ENTER> to view the adapter's current configuration. If you want to change the current configuration, choose "Set Up New Configuration" from the Main Menu and press <ENTER> to proceed. Choose "Media Type" and press <ENTER>. For the Fiber Adapter, you can only select [Auto Detect], [100 Full] or [100 Half] from the "Media Type" selection. The adapter will not function when selecting [10 Full] or [10 Half]. Step 4: Choose "Boot ROM Size" and press <ENTER>. Select [Boot Enabled] or [Boot ROM Disabled]. Note: We do not provide Boot ROM. Step 5: Same steps for "Flow Control", "Wake On LAN", "Link Change" and "LAN Wake Signal": Choose, select, <ENTER>, and <ESC> to exit. 13 User's Guide : pcifxp. doc : Carrie Chen : 1/31/2003 3:06 PM Fiber Ethernet Adapter Run Diagnostics Step 1: Choose "Run Diagnostics" from the Main Menu.
