Introduction

If you've wanted to connect your computers together to

share files, applications, CD-ROM drives, hard disks,

printers, and more, look no further! The 10/100

Network In a Box comes with everything you need to

get up and running in just a few minutes. Just plug in

the cards, attach the provided 100BaseTX cables, install

the software drivers -- and go!Your data will move at

blistering speeds! Best of all, you can seamlessly inte-

grate your old 10Mbps hardware with no hassles!

Fast Ethernet is a relatively new standard of networking

built specifically for speed-intensive network applica-

tions like video-conferencing, multimedia development,

imaging, and complex databases. Capable of sending

and receiving data at 100 megabits-per-second over 4

wires in half duplex mode, and 200Mbps in full duplex,

Fast Ethernet technology is at least 10 times faster than

traditional 10BaseT networks.

Built to run with the fastest video, publishing, graphics,

and database applications, the EtherFast 10/100 LAN

Card is a high performance network adapter for desk-

top computers with 32-bit PCI expansion slots.

Boasting an incredible maximum data throughput of

200 megabits per second in full duplex mode (100Mbps

in half duplex), the EtherFast card is ready to run with

both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX networks right out of the

box – the card's 10/100 combo port automatically

detects your network's maximum speed and adjusts

itself accordingly.

The 10/100 LAN Card from Linksys also features

Wake-On-LAN event management. If your PCI moth-

erboard has built-in WOL support, you’ll be able to uti-

lize this unique management feature. You can remotely

Introduction

turn on any computer with a WOL network card to per-

form after-hours tasks or to access files. The ultimate in

managed 10/100 networking is yours! If you don’t have

WOL support on your motherboard or you have no need

for it, don’t worry -- your EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card

will operate normally anyway.

The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Network In a Box also

includes an EtherFast 10/100 Auto-Sensing 5-Port

Workgroup Hub. The hub features five 10BaseT/

100BaseTX RJ-45 ports that allow you to network up to

four computers right now. Each port automatically

detects and negotiates 10Mbps and 100Mbps connec-

tions. As your network grows, you can uplink the hub to

other EtherFast hubs. The 10/100 Auto-Sensing 5-Port

Workgroup Hub includes a switched distance extender

uplink port that is capable of sending data up to 100

meters over a 100BaseTX connection. As long as the

other four ports on the hub are running at 100Mbps, the

uplink port will go 100 meters (328 feet). If your con-

nections are not all running at 100Mbps, the uplink dis-

tance to another 100BaseTX hub will become 5 meters

(16.4 feet). See page 54 in the Appendix for cabling

rules.

Introduction

About Plug-and-Play PCI Technology

The EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card is designed to run in a

32-bit desktop computer equipped with PCI expansion

slots. The card is built to the PCI 2.1 standard.

Short for Peripheral Components Interconnect, PCI is

a technology that allows special Plug-and-Play expan-

sion cards to be automatically configured by a comput-

er’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) once they have

been installed. Refer to your computer’s user guide for

more information about its BIOS.

When a PCI card is used in a computer that supports

Plug-and-Play, the card is automatically configured each

time the computer is booted. The card's IRQ, I/O

address, and other operating parameters are automatical-

ly assigned.

There is no way to change a Plug-and-Play card's IRQ

and other settings outside of the BIOS menu(s) that

your computer provides. If the resources that are

assigned to your EtherFast card seem to conflict with

other devices in your computer, you will need to use

your system's BIOS to resolve the conflicts.

If you have problems configuring your BIOS or resolv-

ing IRQ or other hardware conflicts, consult your com-

puter manual or contact your PC's manufacturer for

BIOS setup and configuration directions.

Here are some general guidelines to follow when

installing a PCI card (like the EtherFast card) into your

computer:

1. The EtherFast LAN adapter should be used in a 32-

bit PCI slot that supports PCI Bus Mastering. It cannot

be plugged into a PCI Bus Slave slot. Consult your

motherboard's documentation for more information on

master and slave slots.

About Plug-and-Play

2. If loading the EMM386.EXE program in your PC's

CONFIG.SYS, you MUST use version MS-DOS 6.22

or above. If you load an older EMM386.EXE program

(below DOS 6.22), your PC will hang up while loading

the network driver.

3. When using NT, set your BIOS PCI settings to MAN-

UAL. NT is not a Plug-and-Play OS, and will not usual-

ly recognize LAN cards if they are set to be automati-

cally detected and configured. If you need to configure

your PC's BIOS in order to resolve an IRQ or other con-

flict with the EtherFast card, there are a few possibili-

ties:

No Changes Allowed

Your PCI may not allow you to change the IRQ value(s)

of the PCI slot(s). In this case, you will ONLY be able

to use the IRQ and I/O values that have been pre-

assigned to each slot. The popular BIOS from Phoenix,

for example, does not generaly allow you to modify

BIOS-assigned IRQ settings.

Jumper Changes

You may be able to change the IRQ & I/O values for a

given PCI slot by setting jumpers on your PC mother

board. Please refer to your PC's motherboard user guide

for specific instructions.

Menu Changes

Your PC may allow you to change the IRQ & I/O values

for a given PCI slot by accessing the PC's BIOS setup

menu. Please refer to your PC's user guide for specific

details. The BIOSs from companies like AMI and

Award are fully customizable from their BIOS menus,

for example.

About Plug-and-Play

Hardware Setup

BeforeYou Begin

The EtherFast 10/100 LAN Cards are equipped with an

RJ-45 port that automatically adjusts to either 10Mbps

or 100Mbps speeds at any duplex. Also known as N-

way technology, the card's auto-sensing mechanism

allows you to attach your computer to either Fast

Ethernet (also known as 100BaseTX) or regular

10BaseT Ethernet network segments of any duplex

without any special hardware or software settings

required.

The card should only be used with RJ-45, twisted-pair

cabling. 100BaseTX cabling is available in a number of

different grades.Your kit comes with 8-wire, category 5

unshielded twisted-pair for use with both 10BaseT and

100BaseTX network segments. The cable that runs from

your computer's EtherFast card to your hub should not

exceed 100 meters (328 feet) in length.

Extra Category 5 twisted-pair cabling can be purchased

from most computer stores, or if you prefer, you can

crimp your own cables. See page 53 for wiring informa-

tion.

Whether you're building a 10Mbps or 100Mbps net-

work, twisted-pair cabling should always be used with a

hub. Each PC plugs into the hub with its own twisted

pair cable. Because all of the PCs' cables converge at

the hub's central location, a twisted-pair network is

often referred to as a star configuration. Do not connect

PCs together without a hub. Although your network may

work, communication will be unstable.

Hardware Setup

Using the Wake-On-LAN Feature

The EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card supports both Magic

Packet and Link Change remote wake-up events.

Only install the Wake-On-LAN wires if your mother-

board supports remote wake-up events. Improperly con-

necting the wire or connecting it to a socket on the

motherboard other than the designated 3-pin socket can

damage your hardware.

If you plan on using the Wake-On-LAN feature of

the EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card, please skip to

section about the card’s Wake-On-Lan capabilities

on page 46.

Installing the Hardware

1. Turn off your PC and any peripheral equipment

attached to it. Remove the power cord or turn off the

master switch on the back of the PC

2. Remove your computer's outside cover.

3. Open up your computer and locate the PCI expansion

slot(s). Next, determine which of your PC’s PCI slots is

the master slot. (In newer PCs, the PCI slots are usually

all master slots. Older PCs may

have both master and slave

slots. The EtherFast card must

be inserted into a master slot).

Your PC vendor can help you

determine which slots are

designed for 32-bit cards.

4. If you are using the Wake-On-LAN feature of the

card, connect one end of the WOL wire to the 3-pin

WOL socket on the network card. Connect the other end

to the appropriate socket on the PC’s motherboard.

Hardware Setup

5. Carefully slide the EtherFast card into your PC's slot.

Make sure that all of its pins are touching the slot's con-

tacts. After the card is firmly in place, secure its fasten-

ing tab to your PC's chassis with a mounting screw.

6. Replace your PC's cover, then turn on your computer.

If your computer has a plug-and-play BIOS, it will auto-

matically recognize the card and assign a unique IRQ

("interrupt") and I/O address to it. If your PC isn't plug-

and-play compatible, consult your PC's user guide to see

how you should go about assigning a unique IRQ and

I/O address to a new interface card. Using your PC's

BIOS menu, give the EtherFast card IRQ and I/O values

that are not already in use by another interface card in

your computer.

Installing the Cabling

1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable into the

EtherFast card's RJ-45 port. Plug the other end of the

cable into the EtherFast 10/100 Auto-Sensing 5-Port

hub. You can plug the cable into any one of the five RJ-

45 ports. If you are connecting either PC to port 1 on

the hub, make sure that no cables are plugged into the

uplink port.

2. Plug the 2-pronged end of the EtherFast Hub's sup-

plied AC power supply into an AC electrical outlet. Plug

the other end into the hub's DC power jack. The hub's

green Power LED should light up. When the hub is in

use, the other LED indicators will light up see page 66

of the Appendix for more LED information.

If the EtherFast 10/100 Auto-Sensing 5-port Hub

encounters excessive network collisions or faulty

cabling, it will automatically partition the node(s)

responsible from the rest of the network, protecting the

remaining nodes against potentially corrupted data. To

reset the hub and clear any partitions, power the hub off,

wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
