2. 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 Man-  
agement. It is a specification developed by Intel, Microsoft, and  
Toshiba Corp which allows more advanced power management fea-  
tures through the operating system to the hardware interfaces.  
Remote Wake-up (RWU)  
The Remote Wake-up feature is provided by Wake on LAN (WOL)  
technology that resides in a network adapter and on the system  
motherboard in a LAN environment. When a system is in a standby  
or suspend state, the network adapter continuously monitors the  
network and watches for a wake-up packet. When it receives that  
packets, it alerts the system, which then comes to a full power state  
and stands ready for maintenance or other tasks.  
Wake-up Packets  
The adapter supports the following wake-up packet types:  
Magic packet wake-up  
Microsoft wake-up frame  
The wake-up packet is a valid Ethernet packet that contains a syn-  
chronize data stream and the destination MAC address. It is not  
protocol specific and can be routed in order to wake up a remote PC.

WOL Installation  
The adapter features :  
1. One LAN controller which can support PCI power manage-  
ment interface and function.  
2. One 3-Pin Wake on LAN (WOL) connector (JP2)  
3. One PME setting jumper (JP1)  
4. One Wake on LAN (WOL) cable  
The 3-pin WOL connector (JP2) provides an interface to the sys-  
tem motherboard for auxiliary power and Power Management En-  
able signal through the WOL cable. The PME setting jumper (JP1)  
specifies the active level of the PME signal coming from the system  
motherboard. To install the cable, refer to section 2.2 for the details.  
To support remote wake-up, the system motherboard must be fea-  
tured with RWU or WOL support in hardware and BIOS. One 3-  
pin WOL connector must be provided on the motherboard. Refer to  
your system motherboard manual to determine if it is remote wake-  
up capable.  
In addition to the RWU-capable motherboard, an ACPI supported  
operating system, such as Windows 95 / 98, Windows NT 4.0 / 5 is  
also required to achieve RWU functionality.

10 Mbps Connection  
For 10BASE-T Ethernet networks, the Fast Ethernet adapter uses  
Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable. To establish a valid 10 Mbps connec-  
tion, the cable must be connected to a 10BASE-T hub. Connect the  
network cable as follows:  
1. Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for  
a standard 10BASE-T adapter.  
2. Align the RJ-45 plug on the end of the UTP cable with the  
notch on the adapter's connector and insert it into the adapter  
connector as shown in Figure 3-4.

100 Mbps Connection  
For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the adapter supports  
Category 5 UTP cabling. To establish a valid 100 Mbps connection,  
the cable must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub.  
1. Make sure that the plug on the cable is wired appropriately for  
a standard 100BASE-TX adapter.  
2. Align the RJ-45 plug on the end of the UTP cable with the  
notch on the adapter's connector and insert it into the adapter  
connector as shown in Figure 3-5.  
Figure 3-6 Connecting 100BASE-TX Cable  
Note: The UTP wire pairs and configuration for 100BASE-TX  
cable are identical to those for 10BASE-T cable when used with  
Category 5 UTP cable. The straight through connection should be  
made from the adapter through the cable and connectors to the hub.  
Refer to Appendix A.2 for RJ-45 connector pin assignments.

4. 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.  
4.1 Driver Information  
The adapter driver media contains the latest versions of the network  
drivers available when the adapter is shipped from the factory. A  
file, \README.DOC, located in the media's product directory con-  
tains a list of the supported driver software and the directory struc-  
tures for the supported operating environments. Please refer to this  
file first before installing any network driver for the adapter.  
In the media, there are additional INSTALL.DOC files within the  
directory structures for each supported operating environment.  
These files contain information that pertains to the specified driver  
or operating environment that corresponds to the sub-directory  
where they are found. The basic drivers supplied in the adapter  
driver media are:  
• NetWare DOS and OS/2 ODI driver  
• NetWare server driver for NetWare 3.1x, 4.x, 5 and Client32  
• DOS NDIS2 driver  
• OS/2 NDIS2 driver  
• NDIS3 driver for Windows NT  
• NDIS3 driver for Windows 95  
• NDIS3 driver for Windows 98  
• Linux  
12  
 
In addition to the basic drivers, more updated information and driv-  
ers may be included in the driver media after this guide is published.  
Please refer to the \README.DOC file first for the latest informa-  
tion before you install any drivers.  
4.2 BIOS Setup  
Before installing the driver, it is recommended to run the system  
BIOS setup utility to check each PCI slot that contains a Fast  
Ethernet PCI adapter for the following PCI settings:  
1. Enable/disable the PCI slot : make sure the PCI slot is enabled  
for the adapter.  
2. Assign an IRQ number : make sure the IRQ number does not  
conflict with other add-in adapters.  
3. Enable bus mastering : the PCI slot must be enabled for bus  
mastering.  
4. Enable the RWU or WOL function in BIOS, if it is available.  
On a PCI plug-and-play system, the BIOS automatically configures  
the adapter, so there is no user action needed.

4.3 Installation for Windows 98 System  
After the driver installation for Windows 98, there are some simple  
methods to check the installation is proper or not as follows:  
1. Check Device Manager in System Properties window  
Figure 4-1 Device Manager  
14  
 
The adapter name shown in Device Manager should be "KF221TX  
Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter". The installation is proper if there is no  
"?" or "!" mark ahead of the adapter line.  
2. If you are using TCP/IP protocol, you can use Ping command  
under DOS mode to check the adapter itself. The command is  
>ping 127.0.0.1  
Figure 4-2 Ping Command

5. LED Indicators  
Each Fast Ethernet adapter has three LEDs, as shown in Figure 1-2.  
5.1 Interpretations  
The interpretations of the LEDs are:  
100Mb LED indicates an active 100Mbps connection is established.  
On : Good connection between adapter and 100BASE-TX device  
Off : No active connection  
Blink: Not applicable  
10Mb LED indicates an active 10 Mbps connection is established.  
On : Good connection between adapter and 10BASE-T device  
Off : No active connection  
Blink : Not applicable  
Activity LED indicates packets are being received or transmitted.  
Blink : Network traffic is present  
On : Not applicable  
Off : No traffic for either speed  
If you experience any problems, first make sure that the appropri-  
ate driver is loaded, the proper cable is connected to the connector,  
and the connected device complies with the adapter specifications  
(10 Mbps 10BASE-T or 100 Mbps 100BASE-TX). Then recheck  
the LED.

A.2 Auto-negotiation Function  
The adapter is equipped with an auto-negotiation function. Auto-  
negotiation is a negotiation procedure between two connected de-  
vices. Both devices must be auto-negotiation capable. The proce-  
dure decides the best operation modes that can be used for the data  
transfer operation between two connected devices. The operation  
modes includes connection speeds and duplex modes as follows:  
Connection speed : 10Mbps or 100Mbps  
Duplex mode : half-duplex or full-duplex  
Operating at full duplex can increase the network bandwidth to up  
to 200 Mbps depending on the connection speed 100 Mbps.  
The following table describes how the adapter decides the operation  
modes when it connects to :  
An auto-negotiation device  
Speed: via auto-negotiation  
Duplex: via auto-negotiation  
A non-auto-negotiation device (such as a hub)  
Speed: auto-sense the connection speed  
Duplex: half-duplex as default (*)  
* The default could be overwritten by configuration setting or  
keyword setting of each individual network driver when the  
driver is loaded.  
18  
 
A.3 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.  
To install the boot ROM, make sure the notch of the boot ROM is  
in the same direction as the notch of the socket on the adapter. The  
remote boot ROM socket is labeled U5 on the adapter.  
Refer to the \BOOTROM subdirectory in the driver media for more  
detailed instructions on how to setup the remote boot service on a  
file server.
