This guide describes how to set up a network with two computers running Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Me in a peer-to-peer configuration. You can also use the adapter in a larger Ethernet network. The adapter is a dual-speed 10/100 Mbps Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network adapter which automatically determines the speed of connected computers and devices. Standard Ethernet lets you connect computers and devices at speeds up to 10 Mbps. Fast Ethernet runs as fast as 100 Mbps. A dual-speed 10/100 Mbps Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network combines both standards to let computers and devices of different speeds communicate with each other. Wake On LAN The adapter features Wake On LAN (WOL). This feature lets a remote workstation "wake" your computer when it is in Standby or Hibernate mode. To use the WOL feature, the adapter must be WOL capable and the system board of the computer must be ACPI compliant. Some uses for WOL include: • Send a wakeup signal to your computer to retrieve files remotely. • Initiate long routines and reports before you get to work. • Transfer files when the network traffic is low (during late hours). • Turn on your computer before you arrive to work. • Upgrade software on computers from a remote workstation. For information about installing the WOL cable, see the DX-E101 installation guide.
