Cheetah Gigabit Adapter 3 Introduction Accton’s Cheetah Gigabit Adapter is a Gigabit Ethernet network card for 32- and 64-bit PCI bus compliant computers. Operating under the 1000BASE-SX short-wavelength laser specification, this adapter provides up to ten times the bandwidth of F ast Ethernet ov er multimode fiber links.
4 Quick Installation Guide LED Indicators The Cheetah Gigabit Adapter includes three status LED indicators, as described in the following figure and table. D E L s u t a t S n o i t p i r c s e D k n i Ln e e r G n On o n o i t c e n n o c X S - E S A B 0 0 0 1 d i l a v a s e t a c i d n I .
Cheetah Gigabit Adapter 5 Installation Warnings: · This network adapter requires a PC and BIOS that support the PCI Local Bus Specification v2.0 or later . If you are installing in an older PC model, upgrade the BIOS to the latest version. · Network cards are sensitive to static electricity .
6 Quick Installation Guide Driver Installation and Configuration The diskette labeled “Driver Diskette ,” that comes with the package contains all the software drivers available for the Cheetah Gigabit Adapter . A RELEASE.TXT file, describing the contents of the diskette is f ound in the root directory .
Cheetah Gigabit Adapter 7 Use the following procedure to make an SC connection to the network. Caution: This network card uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation.
8 Quick Installation Guide Network Card Information Select the “Properties” tab in the utility window to view the network card status information and to set a locally administered network address. Locally Administered Network Address This field lets you set a local network MAC address to ov erride the “P er manent Network Address.
Cheetah Gigabit Adapter 9 Link Parameters The network card’s link speed, PHY type (physical connection to the network) and duplex mode can all be set from this page. Howe ver , if the “AutoNegotiate Link P arameters” bo x is checked these parameters are automatically determined and the configuration options greyed out.
10 Quick Installation Guide the PC hardware, other devices on the PCI bus, and the applications being run. Considering all the variables involved, it is recommended to experiment with the Packet Propulsion threshold to find the setting that maximizes the performance of the Cheetah Gigabit Adapter in your system.
Cheetah Gigabit Adapter 11 Using VLANs The Cheetah Gigabit Adapter supports the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN standard and can be configured to participate in a network with other devices that use VLANs. An IEEE 802.1Q VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment.
12 Quick Installation Guide The first entry at the top of the table is the VLAN ID that is used in outbound VLAN tagged frames from the adapter . All entries in the table are used for filtering inbound frames with unlisted VLAN IDs.
Cheetah Gigabit Adapter 13 Local T ests These tests can be used to test the basic functions of the adapter . Select the “Run Loopback T ests” and “Run Internal T ests” chec k box es either together or separately . The tests to be performed will show “Ready” as the status in the test list box.
