Edificio Conata II, Group CTSG Fructuos Gelabert 6-8 2o2a 08970 Sant Joan Despi, Barcolona, Spain This device complies with the essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC. The following test methods have been applied in order to prove presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC: EN 55022:2006+A1:2007 Class B EN 55024:1998+A1: 2001+A2: 2003 IEC 61000-4-2: 2001 IEC 61000-4-3: 2006 IEC 61000-4-4: 2004 IEC 61000-4-5: 2005 IEC 61000-4-6: 2006 IEC 61000-4-8: 2001 IEC 61000-4-11: 2004 LVD: EN60950-1:2006/A11:2009 1. Introduction Thanks for choosing the SMC 10/100 Fast-Ethernet PCI Card, the SMC1255TX-2. [. . . ] Close the computer cover and fix it with the screws that were previously removed to the case. Connect the network cable (CAT3 or CAT5 UTP)* to the RJ-45 network connector of the new installed adapter card and the other end to router, switch or any other networking device. If the BIOS section of your computer's boot program is Plug and Play compliant, then at power up the BIOS will configure any newly installed adapter automatically. 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. 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. [. . . ] Click "Start" menu bar and select "Setting" item then "Control Panel" 5. If this is the first time to install a network on the machine then the system will ask "YES" or "NO" to install the network adapter. If the computer already installed a network before then you need to select "Interface" -> "Add" 8. After Microsoft Windows rebooted, the PCI Adapter will be found and the system will assign the default network driver to the adapter. [. . . ]
