Chapter 1. Introducing the Adapters

This manual contains the information you need to install and use the

following products:

¹IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter

¹IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter with Wake on LAN

This chapter describes the adapters, the contents of the adapter kits,

and other materials you need to install these adapters. Topics

include:

¹“Adapter Overview”

¹“Using the Wake on LAN Feature” on page 1-3

|¹“About the Adapter Fault Tolerance Feature” on page 1-3

¹“About DHCP/RPL Support with the Adapters” on page 1-4

* DHCP support means Pre-Execute Environment (PXE) remote boot

with Intel's LANDesk Service Agent (LSA) code in Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

It is important that you are familiar with the PC in which either of the

adapters will be installed and with the PC’s operating system and

network software.

These adapters use the same drivers and software utility. Therefore,

most of the information in this manual applies to both adapters

interchangeably. Where the information differs, it is noted.

Adapter Overview

The IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapters pave the way to higher

bandwidth operation and improved network performance, without

disrupting your existing infrastructure. It is easy to use these Plug

and Play, 32-bit Busmaster adapters. Designed for flexibility, they

run at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in full- or half-duplex mode to support a

 Copyright IBM Corp. 1995, 1998 1-1

Title: ASB3CNTL CreationDate: 07/16/98 18:07:52

variety of network configurations, ranging from conventional

10BASE-T to Fast Ethernet environments.

The adapters:

¹Operate in shared 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX environments as

well as in switched 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet networks

¹Run at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in full-duplex mode, yielding

20-Mbps and 200-Mbps capacity, respectively

¹Attach to 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps LANs with a single RJ-45

connector

¹Operate in symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) environments

¹Display the status of link, activity, and 100-Mbps operation via

LEDs

|¹Support Novell NetWare 3.12 or higher, IBM OS/2 LAN Server,

| Microsoft LAN Manager, Windows for Workgroups 3.11,

| Windows NT 3.51 or higher, Windows 95, Windows 98, SCO

| Open Desktop 3.0, SCO Open Server 5.0, and SCO UnixWare

| 2.1 or higher.

|¹The 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter with Wake on LAN supports

| system wakeup events in both ACPI and APM environments with

| IBM Wake on LAN-capable PC systems.

¹The Boot ROM module is a standard feature for the 10/100

EtherJet PCI Adapter with Wake on LAN. The card comes with

an onboard ROM pre-flashed with Intel LANDesk Service Agent

code (LSA code) for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

(DHCP) remote boot ready. For the Remote Program Load

(RPL) remote boot, a flash utility disk is available for re-flashing

the ROM to RPL code.

¹For 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter, an optional ROM Module kit

(PN 86H2856) is available for your DHCP or RPL remote boot

applications.

Title: ASB3CNTL CreationDate: 07/16/98 18:07:52

Using the Wake on LAN Feature

The Wake on LAN feature can be disabled or enabled using your

system configuration utility. Refer to your PC documentation for

details.

Power for the 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter with Wake on LAN is

always ON when the PC is connected to ac power, regardless of the

PC ON/OFF switch. When the PC power is OFF, this adapter

constantly monitors the LAN for the wake-up frame that requests

power to be applied to the PC.

The wake-up frame can be a broadcast or an individually addressed

frame. The following data is required and can occur anywhere in the

data portion of the wake-up frame.

¹6 bytes of X'FF', followed by

¹48-bit universally administered address (UAA or MAC address) of

the adapter to be woken up, repeated eight or more times. Eight

repetitions are required; more than eight are acceptable.

If you are not familiar with Wake on LAN operation, you can refer to

the following World Wide Web based documents:

¹

Wake on LAN

at http://www.pc.ibm.com/infobrf/iblan.html

¹

Wake up to Wake on LAN

at

http://www.networking.ibm.com/eji/ejiwake.html

| For more details about Wake on LAN cables and IBM Wake on LAN

| PC systems, read WOLCABLE.TXT and WOL-INFO.TXT help files in

| the \INFO\GENERAL directory on the Installation diskette.

About the Adapter Fault Tolerance Feature

Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT), also known as redundant NIC, is a

simple, effective, and fail-safe approach to increase the reliability of

server connections. AFT gives you the ability to set up link recovery

to the server adapter in case of a cable, port, or network interface

card failure. By assigning two IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapters as

a team, AFT enables you to maintain uninterrupted network

Chapter 1. Introducing the Adapters 1-3

Title: ASB3CNTL CreationDate: 07/16/98 18:07:52

performance. For further AFT details, read the AFT.TXT help file in

the A:\INFO\GENERAL directory of the Diagnostics and Help

diskette.

About DHCP/RPL Support with the Adapters

With the onboard ROM on the 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapter with

Wake on LAN, or the optional ROM module on the 10/100 EtherJet

PCI Adapter, the following support and features are provided:

¹The adapters can support DHCP remote boot with DHCP flash

code or RPL remote boot with RPL flash code.

|¹The DHCP LANDesk Service Agent (LSA) code supports both

| Intel's LANDesk Configuration Manager (LCM) and the IBM LAN

| Client Control Manager 2.x (LCCM 2.x).

| The RPL code supports RPL remote boot with IBM LAN Client

| Control Manager 1.1 or 2.x (LCCM 1.1 or LCCM 2.x).

¹The flash diskette provided gives you the option to load the

Flash Module with DHCP code or with RPL code.

You can download this diskette from the Web at:

http://www.networking.ibm.com/nes/nesether.htm.

Select EtherJet 10/100 PCI Adapters and then look for the

DHCP/RPL flash diskette ETPFLSH.EXE.

For further information regarding the DHCP/RPL option, see

Chapter 3, “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and Remote

Program Load.”

Prerequisite Operating System PCI Updates

Please check with your operating system supplier for the latest

information concerning required updates to support PCI adapters.

Some currently available operating systems are not PCI-aware, so

the device drivers for the IBM 10/100 EtherJet PCI Adapters are

written to the PCI-architected BIOS or register-level interfaces.
