Introducing the Broadband

Networking PCI Adapter

Congratulations on your purchase of the Microsoft®Broadband

Networking PCI Adapter. You can use the adapter to connect any

personal computer with an available PCI card slot to a new or

existing Ethernet network.

Networked computers let you:

OShare a broadband Internet connection.

OShare files, printers, and other peripheral devices.

OCommunicate and play games with others on the network or on

the Internet.

This chapter describes your PCI adapter and explains how to

connect it to your network.

Do You Have Everything You Need to Add a

Computer to Your Network?

Included in the Box:

Also Required (but not included in the box):

OStraight-through or crossover Ethernet cable (depending on your

configuration)

OSystem documentation from your computer’s manufacturer

Optional:

OA Wake-On-LAN cable (not included)

This is necessary only if you want to use the Wake-On-LAN

feature on an older computer. See “Wake-On-LAN Capability”

later in this chapter for more information.

Your Adapter and Its Connections

Your PCI adapter is connected from within your computer to your

broadband modem or existing network by an Ethernet cable. An

example network configuration is shown in the following diagram.

There are also other ways to set up your adapter. For an overview

of common setup scenarios, see Chapter 2. For detailed setup

instructions, see Chapter 3.

About Your PCI Adapter

Your PCI adapter is installed in a standard PCI slot inside your

computer, secured by a metal mounting bracket. The following

diagram shows the layout of the adapter and the location of the

Ethernet port, status indicator light, and Wake-On-LAN connector.

After you have completed the hardware and software setup of your

PCI adapter, the indicator light visible through the adapter

mounting bracket provides feedback about network connectivity

and data-transmission speed. As shown in the following table, the

light indicates one of several network states:

Light Status: The PCI Adapter Is:

Off Not connected to an active network.

Solid orange Connected to a 10base-T network running at 10 Mbps.

Blinking orange Activity detected over the 10base-T network.

Solid green Connected to a 100base-T network running at 100 Mbps.

Blinking green Activity detected over the 100base-T network.

Wake-On-LAN Capability

The Microsoft Broadband Networking PCI Adapter includes a Wake-

On-LAN (WOL) feature. WOL technology enables each networked

computer to be “awakened” from a sleep or powered-down state,

allowing it to be accessed from another computer connected to

your local area network (LAN).

When WOL is enabled on a computer, the PCI adapter is powered

and monitoring your network. If another computer or device sends

a message to or tries to access shared files on the WOL-enabled

computer, the PCI adapter tells the computer to power up its other

components.

By using WOL, you can greatly reduce this computer’s power

consumption while still allowing its shared files and printers to be

accessed over your network.

On most computers, Wake-On-LAN capability can be enabled

through the computer’s BIOS. Some computers might require a

separate, 3-pin WOL cable, available at most computer stores.

To determine whether your computer can take advantage of

Wake-On-LAN features without an extra cable, see your computer

documentation. If your computer lists PCI 2.2 compliance as one of

its system features, you should not need to purchase a WOL cable.

Chapter 1: Introduction 5

About Ethernet Connections

Ethernet is the most commonly used wired network protocol, with

connection speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or higher. Your USB or

notebook adapter will transmit data at either 10 or 100 Mbps. The

adapter’s auto-negotiation feature automatically determines the rate

of your network connections and uses the fastest speed available.

As you set up your network, keep in mind that power outlets,

fluorescent lights, power supplies, and coiled or extra-long cables

can interfere with Ethernet transmission and also

produce interference.

Use Ethernet cables to connect your adapter to devices on your

network. Any Ethernet-compatible network device will have one or

more Ethernet ports. Some examples of network devices are:

ORouters, gateways, or base stations, such as the Microsoft

Broadband Networking Wired Base Station

OBroadband modems

OComputers with Ethernet adapters

OEthernet switches and hubs

Network components such as your adapter are connected to one

another by Ethernet cables. An Ethernet cable resembles a phone

cord, but has larger connectors at each end. To determine whether

a cable is an Ethernet or phone cable, you can count the number of

wires or contacts visible in the connector at either end of the cable.

Ethernet (RJ-45) connectors and cables contain eight wires, and

phone (RJ-11) connectors contain either four or six wires.

RJ-11 Telephone

(4 or 6 wires)

RJ-45 Ethernet

(8 wires)

Straight-Through and Crossover Cables

Data is sent and received through specific wires within an Ethernet

cable. Depending on the arrangement of its sending and receiving

wires, an Ethernet cable is either a “straight-through” type or a

“crossover” type. The following diagram demonstrates how to

differentiate between the two types.

Your adapter supports both straight-through and crossover cables.

For more information on the type of cable you need, see Chapter 2.

Connecting to Broadband Modems

When you connect your adapter to a broadband modem, it is

important to use either the cable that came with your modem or

the same type of cable. Many modems use a crossover cable to

connect to the network. If you are unsure about the type of Ethernet

cable to use, see the documentation for your broadband modem.

Straight-Through

Ethernet Cable

In a straight-

through cable,

the order of the

colored wires is the

same at both ends.

Crossover

Ethernet Cable

In a crossover

cable, the order of

the colored wires

is different at

both ends.
