Introduction The D-Link DGE-528T is ideal for the small office or home office environment. After completing the steps in this manual, you will have the ability to share information and resources - such as files and printers - and take full advantage of a “connected” environment for work and play! The DGE-528T comes with drivers for the most popular operating systems and can be integrated into a larger network.
Contents of Package DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter Package Contents 1 DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter 2 Manual on the CD-ROM 3 Quick Installation Guide Technology Basics About Gigabit Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802.3ab. It extends the traditional 100Mbps Fast Ethernet technology to achieve 1000Mbps transmission and reception, while retaining the same CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol.
Category 5 cabling is required for 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet in order to provide full duplex operation.
The working relationship between a DGE-528T adapter and main memory working in Bus Master mode is powered by the Bridge/Memory Controller of the PCI bus. This reduces the CPU role in network operations, thus freeing the CPU to service other tasks, with resulting improvement in overall computing (multitasking) performance. At the same time, it produces superior network throughput by reducing latency (waiting for CPU service) during transmissions and receptions.
1. 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 DGE-528T implements IEEE 802.
Networking Basics Please follow all the instructions in this window: Click Next In the following window, select the best description of your computer. If your computer connects to the Internet through a gateway/router, select the second option as shown.
Networking Basics Enter a Computer description and a Computer name (optional.) Click Next Enter a Workgroup name. All computers on your network should have the same Workgroup name.
Networking Basics Please wait while the Network Setup Wizard applies the changes. When the changes are complete, click Next Please wait while the Network Setup Wizard configures the computer. This may take a few minutes.
Networking Basics In this window, select the best option. In this example, Create a Network Setup Disk has been selected. You will run this disk on each of the computers on your network. Click Next Insert a disk into the Floppy Disk Drive, in this case drive “A.” Format the disk if you wish.
Networking Basics Please wait while the Network Setup Wizard copies the files. Please read the information under Here’s how in the screen below. After you complete the Network Setup Wizard you will use the Network Setup Disk to run the Network Setup Wizard once on each of the computers on your network. To continue click Next.
Networking Basics Please read the information on this screen, then click Finish to complete the Network Setup Wizard. The new settings will take effect when you restart the computer. Click Yes to restart the computer. You have completed configuring this computer. Next, you will need to run the Network Setup Disk on all the other computers on your network. After running the Network Setup Disk on all your computers, your new network will be ready to use.
Networking Basics Naming your Computer To name your computer, please follow these directions: In Windows XP: Click Start (in the lower left corner of the screen) Right-click on My Computer Select Properties and click Select the Computer Name Tab in the System Properties window. You may enter a Computer Description if you wish, this field is optional. To rename the computer and join the domain, click Change.
Networking Basics Naming your Computer In this window, enter the computer name. All computers on your network must have the same Workgroup name. Select Workgroup and enter the name of the Workgroup.
Networking Basics Type in Command Click OK Type ipconfig /all at the prompt. Hit Enter. All the configuration settings are displayed as shown below. Checking the IP Address in Windows XP/2000 Type ipconfig /renew at the prompt to get a new IP Address. Hit Enter. The new IP Address is shown below: (Windows 98/ME users: go to Start > Run. Type Command. Type winipcfg at the prompt. Click Release and Renew to obtain a new IP Address.
Assigning a Static IP Address Note: Residential Gateways/Broadband Routers will automatically assign IP Addresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) technology. If you are using a DHCP-capable Gateway/Router you will not need to assign Static IP Addresses.
Assigning a Static IP Address continued Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Click Properties Select Use the following IP Address in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window Input your IP Address and subnet mask. (The IP Addresses on your network must be within the same range. For example, if one computer has an IP Ad dress of 192.168.0.2, the other computers should have IP Addresses that are sequential, like 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.4.
Troubleshooting A network can be simple to install and maintain. However, occasionally something might go wrong. The best approach to troubleshooting network problems is to start at the very simplest level and work your way up. Verify Each Computers Identification If more than one computer on your network has the same Computer Name, communications may be negatively affected. Also, each computer must have the same Workgroup name to communicate properly.
If you do not see any items branching out after double-clicking “Network adapters,” your Network Adapter has not been properly installed. Start at the beginning of the guide and follow all the steps for this computer. If you see symbols such as a yellow exclamation point or red “X” over the icon adjacent to “D-Link DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter,” your adapter is not installed properly or may have a problem.
Pinging your DGE-528T Card continued Go to Start> Run. Type Command Click OK Type in the following: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address to be pinged (i.e. 192.168.0.1). In this case, computer B with the IP address=192.168.0.1 is being pinged from computer A. Press Enter to begin pinging.
If the connection is good, you will receive four “Reply from” messages. Type exit at the prompt to return to Windows.
