INTRODUCTION

SMC’s Barricade PCI, SMC1255TX, is a dual-speed Fast Ethernet card for PCI local bus-compliant computers. A true plug-and-play device, this card is auto-configurable upon power up and also supports auto-negotiation to automatically select the optimum speed and communication mode of an attached device. This Barricade PCI complies with ACPI and OnNow PC98/PC99 and also supports Remote LAN Wakeup. By connecting the Barricade PCI card’s Wake-On-LAN (WOL) cable, a WOL-enabled computer can be managed remotely. Software can be loaded and updated, configurations changed, data backed up and inventory checked, all from a central location. See “Remote LAN Wakeup” on page 5 for more information.

The Barricade PCI card also provides SMC EtherGuard (personal firewall) and WiNeTool (personal sniffer tool) features and benefits. SMC EtherGuard prevents children/employees from visiting specified Web sites. It also automatically blocks Trojan Horses. WiNeTool allows you to monitor and analyze network traffic.

HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

Remote LAN Wakeup

Remote LAN Wakeup capability is a key feature of a centrally managed PC environment. This technology enables networked PCs to be “woken up” from a sleep or powered-off state so they can be managed from a central location, at any time of the day or night.

To employ Remote LAN Wakeup, three elements are required:

• Desktop management software that can send a “wake-up”

packet to a PC.

• A Wake-On-LAN enabled PC motherboard that can supply

low-level auxiliary power to a network card when the PC is powered off.

• A Wake-On-LAN network card that can recognize a wake-up

packet and signal the PC to power up.

A Wake-On-LAN enabled PC is never completely powered off, it maintains a low-level auxiliary power supply to the motherboard. The 3-wire Wake-On-LAN cable provides one line for the network card auxiliary power and one line for the card wake-up signal, the other line is ground.

Even if the PC is powered off, the network card is always active and monitoring the network. When a wake-up packet is detected, the card signals the motherboard to power up the PC. With the PC powered on, maintenance and other support tasks can be performed.

INSTALLATION

Equipment Checklist

After unpacking the Barricade PCI card, check the contents of the box to be sure you have received the following components:

Immediately inform your dealer in the event of any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, please retain the carton and original packing materials in case there is a need to return the product.

Please fill out and return the Warranty Registration Card to SMC or register on SMC’s Web site. The Barricade PCI card is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Hardware Installation

Network cards are sensitive to static electricity. To protect the card, avoid touching its electrical components and always touch the metal chassis of your computer before handling the card.

1. Switch off the computer, unplug the power cord, and remove the computer’s cover.

2. Select an unused PCI bus master slot and remove its protective bracket.

3. Carefully insert the card and press until all the edge connectors are firmly seated inside the slot. Then screw the card’s bracket securely into the PC’s chassis.
