EZ Card 10/100MBPS Combo Adapter

LED Indicators

The EZ Card network adapter includes at-a-glance LED indicators to

monitor the port connection. Depending on the model, the LEDs are

positioned on the bracket below the port, or are built into the RJ-45

port. All the LED indicators are as described in the following figure

and table.

LED Condition Status

LNK Green Indicates a valid 10BASE-T,

100BASE-TX, or 100BASE-FX link.

Off Power is off or connection is

invalid.

ACT (T/R) Flashing Indicates that the network card

Amber is transmitting or receiveing data.

100 Green Indicates a 100 Mbps connection

to the network card.

Off Indicates a 10 Mbps connection

to the network card.

FDX Amber Indicates the network card is

operating in full-duplex mode.

Flashing Packet collision is occurring in

Amber half-duplex mode.

Off Indicates the network card is

operating in half-duplex mode.

Installing the card

Equipment Checklist

After unpacking the EZ Card, check the contents of the box to be

sure you have received the following components:

• EZ Card 10/100 Mbps Combo Adapter

• Wake-On-LAN Cable

• One Driver and Documentation CD

• SMC Warranty Registration Card

Immediately inform your dealer in the event of any incorrect,

missing, or damaged parts. If possible, please retain the carton and

original packing materials in case there is a need to return the

product.

Please fill out and return the Warranty Registration Card to SMC or

lifetime warranty.

Hardware Installation

1. Switch off all computer system components, unplug the computer,

and remove the computer cover.

2. Work in a static-free area and touch the computer chassis often to

equalize static charges.

3. Install the network card into an available bus-mastering PCI slot.

4. Make sure the network card is completely seated so that no “gold

fingers” are exposed.

7. This model supports a Wake-On-LAN connector. The Wake-On-

LAN (WOL) cable allows a WOL-enabled PC to be managed

remotely. Software can be loaded and updated, configurations

changed, data backed up, inventory checked, viruses removed,

and device conflicts eliminated. This decreases user downtime

and increases overall productivity. For using the WOL function,

connect one end of the 3-pin WOL cable to connector J1 on the

card, and the other end to the “5V Standby” connector on the

computer’s motherboard, as shown in the following figure.

(Refer to your computer’s installation manual to locate the 5V

Standby connector.)

PCI Configuration

In most cases, your network card is automatically configured when

you power-up your computer. In certain computers, however, you

must modify your BIOS by entering your CMOS SETUP utility. For

more information, refer to “PCI Compatibility” on page 27.

English

5. Connect the SMC1255FTX-SC directly to your switch, hub or

cable/dsl modem using UTP cable (Category 3, 4 or 5 for 10BASE-

T; Category 5 for 100BASE-TX). The maximum allowable length of

UTP cable connections is 100 meters (328ft). When inserting an

RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to

ensure that it is properly seated. The SMC1255FTX-SC comes with

an SC connector that supports 100Base-FX fiber connections using

62.5/125 or 50/ 125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling.

Because SC connections are keyed, they can only be attached in

one orientation. Connect one end of the fiber cable to the card’s

SC connector and the other end of the cable to the fiber connector

on the other device. Make certain that the device you are

connecting to is specified for 100 Mbps operation.

6. Replace the computer’s cover and power it on. The SMC1255FTX-

SC should be automatically configured by the host computer’s

BIOS. However, if you have an older computer, you may have to

manually configure the computer’s BIOS settings. The RJ-45

connector supports auto-negotiation, so the port can configure

itself automatically to run at the highest possible data transfer

rate (10 or 100 Mbps and half or full duplex) providing the link

partner also supports Auto-Negotiation. The SC fiber connector

enables the SMC1255FTX-SC model to support 100 Mbps

transmissions at full and half duplex over 62.5/50/125 micron

multimode fiber cable. A fiber cable link operating in full-duplex

mode can extend to remote sites up to 2 km (1.24 miles) away.

INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING NETWORK DRIVERS

Windows 95/98/Me/2000 Installation

You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your

version of Windows. This is because these steps and screenshots

were created from Windows 98. Windows 95, Windows Millennium

Edition, and Windows 2000 are very similar, but not identical, to

Windows 98.

Notes:

A.For Windows NT and Window XP installations, please skip

to page 13 for instructions.

B. Installation processes such as these usually require the

use of your original, licensed copy of Windows. Please

have your Windows CD on hand BEFORE proceeding with

the installation.

1. After you have inserted the SMC1255FTX-SC in your machine, the

Windows operating system will automatically recognize the adapter

and prompt you for the appropriate drivers. Click the “Next” button

to begin the installation.

2. Insert the Driver CD and select the “Search for the best driver

for your device” option and click “Next”.

3. Clear all checkboxes except for “Specify a location:” Then press

the “Browse” button and look for the drivers on your CD-ROM.

(“[CD drive]:\. In most cases, this is D:\.)

4. The system should find the drivers. Now click the “Next” button

to continue the installation.

Note: If the system could not find the drivers, click the “Back”

button, and select the “Display a list of all the drivers...” option.

Select “Network Adapters” from the list of devices, press “Have

Disk” and once again browse to the location of the drivers.

English
