Protocol Drivers from the

Viewing Readme Files Using a Text Viewer or Editor

The Readme files have the extension .txt; the filename itself is the name of the driver.
To find the text files:
1. Insert the installation CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive and go to the appropriate product
directory.
2. Go to the subdirectory of the operating system for which you want to install the driver.
3. Open the appropriate text file.
Checking the Network Port
Once you have loaded the driver(s), check with the aid of the green LED(s) that the SC duplex
connector (if appropriate) has been correctly inserted (in terms of its “polarity”).
Link LED (left, green) Meaning
(Permanently) ON Connection active
Flashing Standby mode
(Permanently) OFF No connection
For SK-NET GE-LX/-SX (Volition)/-T, the green Link-LED should be on; for SK-NET GE-LX/-SX
(Volition)/-T dual link, the green Link-LED of the lower port (marked A) should be lit and the green
Link-LED of the upper port (marked B) should flash.
If this is not the case, remove the connectors, reverse the positions of RX and TX, re-insert them and
check the connection once more (only applicable for fiber ports: SK-NET GE-LX, -SX (Volition), and
their dual link versions).
Mark the correct polarity on the connector or the cable.
