This section describes how to connect the Fiber Adapter to a 100
Mbps fiber-based Ethernet network, which contributes to its
optimal performa nce.
1. Remove the protective covers from the Fiber Adapter’s
connector.
2. R Prepare a network cable with corresponding connectors for
the two end devices, one end to the Fiber Adapter and the
other to a 100Mbps fiber port on the network hub or switch.
3. Connect the network cable to the connector on the Fiber
Adapter.
4. Connect the other end of the network cable to a
100BASE-FX hub or a switch.
5. When the cable is properly connected to two end devices,
turn on the power to the PC.
6. Check the LNK (Link) LED. The LED will come on when
the Fiber Adapter is receiving a good link signal from the
connected device, a hub or switch.
7. Proceed to next section for installing the network driver.

optional, and will only be useful in the unusual event that there is
a fault, such as an interrupt number conflict among your
computer’s add on cards, If your installation provides normal
operation, you do not need these test procedures.
At your DOS prompt, type the following command:
a:\setup.exe <Enter>
