2. Wake On LAN (WOL) function statements

   2.1 Overview

       The Wake on LAN function allows user to remotely wake up a sleeping or
       powered of PC on a network by sending a specific packet of information,
       called a Magic Packet frame, to a node on the network. When a PC capable
       of receiving the specific frame goes to sleep, it will enable the Magic
       Packet mode in the LAN controlle , and when the LAN controller receives
       a Magic Packet frame, it will alert the system to wake up.

   2.2 System Requirements

       1> Any kind of motherboard with Wake On LAN function support.

       2> ATX Power Supply

       3> This 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter or any one which supported Wake On LAN
          function which is accomplished by Magic Packet technology.

   2.3 Configuration Tips

       1> Connect Wake On LAN cable (optional) to 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter and
          your Mother Board's Wake On Lan connector. 

          Note: If you have Motherboard with PCI 2.2 specification supported, you don't
                have to connect this Wake on LAN cable to 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter
                and your Mother Board's Wake On Lan connector. 
       2> Make sure Power Management item in BIOS is Enable
       3> If Windows Environments used, check Control Panel-> Power
          Management-> Power Schemes, the Power Schemes CANNOT be "Always On"

   2.4 Testing Method

       To perform Wake on LAN test, please prepare two PCs with 
       100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter pluged in.  
       Of course, two of the PCs should have WOL function and ATX power supported.
       And please check these two PCs are connected by 
       100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter via a hub ( switch ) or a cross over UTP cable.

       1> Connect WOL cable to 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter 
          and motherboard.
          Note : 
               If the motherboard support both PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 spec. , 
               you can choose not to connect WOL cable to both ends. 
       2> Power on these two PC into pure MS-DOS. 
       3> Please find and execute SETUP.EXE from the driver diskette of 
          100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter, and then select 
          "Show Configuration", then you will see the card information on the 
          screen, record the Ethernet Address.
          Note :
                If you want to copy SETUP.EXE to harddisk, please copy A:\ROMAN.FON
                to the same location of SETUP.EXE.
       4> Power down one PC, which is going to be run WOL test.
       5> Please find and execute SETUP.EXE from the driver diskette of 
          100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter, and then select "Utility" -> 
          "Transmit  Magic Pkts"  then Input the destination address, which means 
          the Ethernet  address of the 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter of 
          the power down PC , with continous 12 Hexadecimal number, for example,
          00002100123A , and then press <Enter> .
       6> The power down PC will be waken up and power on.


3. User guide for SETUP.EXE 

   This following illustrates the usage of the SETUP program.

   3.1 There are five items in the main menu.

       (1). Show Configuration
       (2). Diagnose
       (3). Change Current Setting
       (4). Utility
       (5). On-line Help

       Press 'ENTER' to choose the item, 'ESC' to exit the
       program and use 'UP/DOWN ARROW' to scroll the items.

  3.2 The usage of each item

       (1) Show Configuration
           Choose [Show Configuration] to look at the current
           PCI Lan Card Configuration.

       (2) Diagnose
           Choose [Diagnose] if you want to verify that your
           PCI Lan Card is working correctly.

           After entering [Diagnose], there is a sub-menu with
           two items.

              1. Basic Diagnosis
              2. Network Test (Tx/Rx)

           Choosing [Basic Diagnosis] will test NIC registers
           read/write, cable link status and MII loopback.

           Choosing [Nework Test (Tx/Rx)] will test the
           normal transmission and reception of this Lan Card
           . In this test, the card need to be attached on
           the Network.

       (3) Change Current Setting
           Choose [Change Current Setting] to setup new
           configuration of your PCI Lan Card.

           After entering [Change Current Setting], there is a
           sub-menu with two items.

              1. BootROM Set
              2. Power Management Function Set

            After choosing [BootROM Set], you can enable or
            disable the BootROM on this Land Card.

            After choosing [Power Management Function Set],
            you can change the power management capabilities
            of this Lan card , such as enable/disable the
            capability to receive magic packet. And you can
            set new power state of this Lan Card.

            Note: After you enable the capablity of receiving
                  wake-Up frame , you can shoutdown the
                  machine and transmit a wake-up frame from
                  another machine to wake up this machine.

       (4) Utility
           After entering [Utility], there is a sub-menu with
           three items.

            1. Transmit Magic Pkts
               Use this item to send magic packets to wake up
               another sleeping machine.

            2. Transmit Wake-up Frames
               Use this item to send wake up frame to wake up
               another sleeping machine. Because the pattern
               of wake-up frame is user-defined, you need to
               input a file name which contains the packet.

            3. Transmit Flow Control Pkts
               Use this item to send flow control packets to
               another machine.

       (5) On-line Help
           Choose [On-line Help] to see this usage of SETUP.EXE program.
