SURECOM EP-320X-S 100/10M Wake on LAN PCI Adapter User's Guide
Introduction:
This User's Guide is used for the EP-320X-S serial 100/10M PCI adapter with wake on LAN
function which supports M/B with PCI2.1/PCI2.2 spec.. It is a 32-bit adapter for using in
personal computers with a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) computer bus to eliminate
I/O bottlenecks and to reduce CPU loading using bus master architecture. Wake on LAN(for
PCI2.1/PCI2.2) function supports you to turn on PCs from a sleep state over the network
remotely during off-hours.
It is a Full-Duplex adapter connected to an Ethernet network with a single connection over
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable and can auto-sense either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps by full
auto-detection.
Key Features:
1.Single-chip controller complies to PCI local bus pecification revision 2.1,2.2
2.Conform with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX standards
3.Support Wake on LAN function (Work with PCI2.1/PCI2.2 motherboard)
4.Support ACPI, PCI power management (Work with PCI2.1/PCI2.2 motherboard)
5.High performance bus master architecture for low CPU and bus utilization
6.Single RJ-45 connector for using at either 10 or 100Mbps speed
7.On-board socket for an optional remote boot ROM
8.Provide 2 diagnostic LEDs to monitor linking status
9.Provide high performance network drivers such as ODI,NDIS, NDIS3,NDIS4, NDIS5, UNIX, etc.
Package Contents:
One Ethernet PCI adapter
Driver Diskette

Wake On LAN Cable (optional)
LED Indicator:
Two LED indicators on the rear bracket of each card for tracking network linking status When
working on PCI 2.1/2.2 for Wake On LAN .One LED (LINK/ACT) indicators when on PCI 2.2 for Wake
On LAN only.
LINK/ACT==>The LED ON indicates green when the card is connected to 100/10M network.The LED
indicators flash when there is transmission of data occurring at the card.
to 100/10M network. The LED indicators flash when there is trans.
FULL ==>The LED ON indicates green when the card is in Full-Duplex mode (optional)
Installation Procedures:
Discharge any static electricity from your body before handling the sensitive board of
the card. Handle the card by its edges, and be careful not to twist or flex it. Follow
the steps below to install the card:
l.Unpack the card package.
2.Switch off your computer's power.
Note: To prevent equipment damage and injury, never apply the power when installing.
Turn off any devices that you may attach to the computer.
3.Remove your computer's unit cover. Refer to your computer system manual for specific instructions.
4.Locate a free PCI local bus master slot.
5.Remove the slot cover and screw.
6.Insert the card into the chosen and correct slot carefully.
7.Put the computer's unit cover back.
Making Network Connection
Twisted Pair Cable Connection
Twisted pair cable is used in conjunction with the RJ-45 modular plug on the rear bracket.
Make sure the power to your computer is off to avoid damage to both the computer and the network interface card.
3-Year Warranty
The manufacturer warrants to the original consumer /
purchaser free from defects in materials
or workmanship for no limited time from the original
factory shipment date.

Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions in this manual, may cause interference to radio
communications. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against radio interference when operated in a commercial
environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever
measures are necessary to correct the interference.
CE Declaration of conformity :
This equipment complies with the requirements relating to electromagnetic compatibility, EN
55022 class A for ITE and EN 50082-1. This meets the essential protection requirements of the
European Council Directive 89/336/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States
relating to electromagnetic compatibility.
Trademarks :
All company, brand and product names are trademarks or registered trademarks of their
respective companies.
Using the RJ-45 plug and twisted-pair cable, connect
the network interface card to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX hub (concentrator).
Note that the maximum cable length between a hub and any computer is 100 meters (328 feet).
Max. Nodes per Concentrator : Depends on Concentrator
Max.Cable Length to Concentrator : 100 meters ( 328 Feet )
Note:
Make sure you have the correct wiring. To reliably operate your network
at 100 Mbps, you must use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Category 5 or better Data Grade
wire. While Category 3 or 4 wire may initially seem to work, it will soon cause data loss.
The higher speed needs higher quality wire.
For 10 Mbps operation, you can use either UTP Category 3, 4, or 5 Data Grade wire.
Setup Driver Program:
If you want to view or change the configuration of your Ethernet card, you can perform
setup program on the distributed diskette.
README File:
Driver setup to the card is described in the README.DOC file found on the diskette provided.
Please take a few minutes to print and read this file so that you don't miss any important notices.
Note: Please also refer to README.DOC file for more about Wake on LAN function.
