6 Replace the computer cover and plug in the power cord. Then, continue to
the section Connect the Network Cable.
Connect the Network Cable
1 Connect a Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE) network cable to the port of the
adapter as shown below.
• For 100BASE-TX, your network cable must be Category 5, twisted-
pair wiring. If you want to run the adapter at 100 Mbps, it must be
connected to a 100BASE-TX hub or switch (not a 100BASE-T4 hub).
• For 10BASE-T, use Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. If you
want to use this adapter in a residential environment, you must use a
Category 5 cable.
NOTE: Use a Category 5 TPE cable and an RJ-45
connector for this adapter. Do not use Category 3
wiring at 100 Mbps. At 100 Mbps, connect to a TX
hub, not a T4 hub.
• For home phoneline network products, use a stan-
dard telephone extension cord with RJ-11 modular
jacks on each end.
2 To configure the adapter, continue with the procedures specific to your
operating system outlined in the section Configure the Adapter and Install
the Drivers.
Connect the Wake on LAN* Power Cable
(Optional)
NOTE: The Wake on LAN* feature and Wake on LAN cable are only available on
PRO/100 S and PRO/100+ Management Adapters. They are not available on
PRO/100+ Client Adapters or PRO/100 VE, VM, and 82562EH based Phoneline
Desktop Adapters or Network Connections.
NOTE: The Wake on LAN cable is not necessary for PCI 2.2 compliant systems,
since power is supplied to the PME pin through the PCI slot. However, even
though the Wake on LAN cable is unnecessary for these systems, you can
connect the cable on these systems with no adverse effect.
For the Wake on LAN* (WOL) feature to work correctly, the adapter must be
connected to a continuous power source. This allows the adapter to “listen to”
the network even when the computer is turned off. To install the WOL power
cable, carefully follow the procedure below.
