motherboard. The actual location is system dependent, but the motherboard may have a label beside the WOL Connector. After you have located the WOL connector on the motherboard, connect the cable. 3. Power-ON the PC and press "Delete" or "F1" when prompted to enter the PCI/ISA BIOS CMOS Setup. Enable the WOL function or the power-ON function of the PC. The name of this function is system dependent, but may be located in a category heading titled something like Power Management. Refer to your computer's manual for more information regarding the CMOS Setup Utility and BIOS settings. Flow Control The DFE-538TX implements IEEE 802.3x compliant flow control for full duplex, which provides traffic management functions for full-duplex operation. Flow control allows for enhanced full duplex operation with switches. When operating at full duplex (requiring a direct connection to a switch) and the switch's data buffer is about to overflow, a Pause frame will be transmitted to the DFE-538TX. The ensuing idle time keeps the buffer from overflowing and prevents data from being lost. This enhancement can improve network throughput, avoid collisions and prevent lost data, helping the network achieve optimal performance. 7
