Chapter 1 1 Introduction This chapter provides detailed specifications for the PCI Express GbE PoE cards.
1.1 Description Advantech PCIe-1672PC/PCIe-1674PC is a PCI Express by 2 or 4 lane with PoE (Power over Ethernet) and jumbo frame support for independent Gigabit Ethernet ports. Advantech GbE PoE card levrages the "Plug and Play" capability defined in the PCI Express bus specification. The board requires one PCI Express by 2 or 4 slot within the personal computer and provides independent Gigabit Ethernet Ports via Intel i350 series Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
1.4 Ordering Information PCIe-1672PC: 2-port PCI Express Gigabit PoE Card with isolation PCIe-1674PC: 4-port PCI Express Gigabit PoE Card with isolation 1.5 Unpacking Checklist Ensure that the following items are included in the package.

Chapter 2 2 Hardware Configuration This chapter provides information on the hardware configuration of PCI Express GbE PoE cards.
2.1 Initial Inspection You should find the following items inside the shipping package: PCIe-1672PC or PCIe-1674PC unit Driver Installation CD-ROM 2*2P / B4P Cable We carefully inspected the PCI Express GbE PoE card series mechanically and electrically before we shipped it. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect working order on receipt. As you unpack the PCI Express GbE PoE card series, check it for signs of shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.).

Note! 6. 7. 8. Turn off the computer and all peripheral devices (such as printers and monitors). Disconnect the power cord and any other cables from the back of the computer. Remove the PC’s cover (refer to your user’s guide if necessary). Install and plug the PCI Express GbE PoE card on your PCI Express BUS. Replace the PC’s cover. Connect the cables you removed in step 3 and connect the power connector and power supply with the power cable in the package. Turn the computer power on.

Chapter 3 3 Driver Setup and Installation This chapter describes the driver installation, configuration and removal procedures for the Windows operating system, including Windows XP/Vista/7.
3.1 Introduction This chapter describes the driver installation, configuration and removal procedures for the Windows operating system, including Windows XP/Vista/7 32/64 bits. 3.2 Driver Setup In order to fully utilize the advanced features ofWindows XP/Vista/7, such as multiprocess and multithread, pure 32-bit and 64-bitt Windows XP/Vista/7 device drivers are provided for the PCI Express GbE PoE cards. 3.2.
4. Click the "I Agree” button to agree the license agreement. 13 PCIe-GbE_PoE User Manual Driver Setup and Installation After the setup program is launched, you’ll see the following screen and click “Next” button. Chapter 3 3.
5. It will start to extract the installation package, then launch Intel installation gram. 6. Click Next to continue installation.
8. Please wait for few minutes and Intel shield wizard installs network connection. 15 PCIe-GbE_PoE User Manual Driver Setup and Installation Click the “Yes” button to close Microsoft Management console and continue the installation. Chapter 3 7.
9. Find Advantech PCI Express E PoE adapter, and click “Continue Anyway” to install this driver. 10. Start to install the driver in the system. 11. Perform the requested operations and select Finish. After that, you will be able to find the adapters from device manager.
Chapter 3 PCIe-1672PC and PCIe-1674PC offer the Gigabit Ethernet connectivity via Intel® i350 GbE controller. When connecting to a high-speed PoE device, such as a GigE camera, you can adjust some driver settings to have better transmission throughput and connection stability. In this section, we’ll discuss these settings. You can refer to the information to fine tune your system. 3.3.1 Jumbo Frame Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload.
1. Open the Device Manager of Computer Management and click the right button of “Advantech PCI Express GbE PoE adapte” and select Property. 2. Click Configure button and a property dialog appears. Click on the Advanced tab. Select the Jumbo Packet settings, and select the expected jumbo frame size. (for connecting a Ethernet device with high data rate, 9014 Bytes is suggested) 3.
Receive buffer is another option which can affect data throughput. It determines the size of memory buffer allocated for receiving data. Increasing size of receive buffer can improve the performance of receiving data. The default settings of receive buffer is 256 bytes. When connecting to an Ethernet device that generates large amount of data, you can set this option to a larger value (maximal 2048 bytes) for better performance.
2. Adjust the value of Receive Buffers. The default value is 256 Bytes. (for connecting a Ethernet device with high data rate, 2048 Bytes is suggested) 3.3.3 Transmit Buffers Like receive buffer, transmit buffer can affect the performance of transmitting data. The default settings of receive buffer is 256 bytes. If you encounter a performance issue while transmitting data, you can adjust the size of transmit buffer to a larger value (maximal 2048 bytes) for better performance.
Adjust the value of Transmit Buffers. Chapter 3 2. 1. Access Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs) to bring up the Change or Remove Programs window. 21 PCIe-GbE_PoE User Manual Driver Setup and Installation 3.
2. Select the “Intel® network Connections 17.1.55.0" tab and click “Change/ Remove” button, then it will start to remove the driver for Advantech PCI Express GbE PoE adapters.
