The Auto Wake 16/4 Token-Ring ISA 16-Bit-Adapter allows you to attach IBM Personal Computer systems, or IBM compatible computers AT or IBM Industriecomputers that meet ISA or EISA architecture, to a Token-Ring network.

The Auto Wake Token-Ring ISA Adapter transmit and receives data at a rate of either 4 or 16 Mbps over shielded twisted-pair /STP) or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. The Auto Wake Token-Ring Isa Adapter can be installend in an 8-bit or 16-bit slot.

The adapter is compatible with industry-standard Plug and Play (PnP) BIOS, configuration managers, and operating system functions. However, PnP features are not required to use this adapter.

If the computer is enabled for PnP the installation is simplified. The PnP function greatly simplifies configuration of PnP adapters and PnP enabled systems. The LAN Adapter Installation and Diagnostic Vers 2 (LANAID 2.0) works to simplify the installation and configuration of hard and software in an environment that is not PnP enabled.

Features of the Auto Wake Token-Ring ISA Adapter include:

Autom. installation in systems that are enabled for PnP.
Wake on LAN, a configurable option that allows the PC to be powered ON when the Auto Wake Token-Ring ISA Adapter senses a wakeup frame on the LAN. This feature requires a computer that is designed to use Wake on LAN.
Enhanced mode, includes:
- Eight interrupt levels
- Additional I/O configuration choices
- 8 KB memory footprint
Auto-Sense, a configurable option that permits the adapter to detect and operate at the data rate of the attached ring. This function eliminates problems due to manual configuration of a data rate that is not correct.
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that aid in monitoring the status of the adapter and problem solving.
Support for up to two Auto Wake Token-Ring ISA Adapters in a single computer. This maximum is reduced if the protocol driver supports fewer adapters.
Support for remote program load (RPL), which enables a computer w/o a hard disk or diskette drive to automatically load its operating system and applications from the remote server.
The LAN Support Program (LSP) Custom, which provides IEE 802.2 logical link control (LLC) and NetBIOS protocol drivers for use on DOS systems.
IBM LAN Client reduces use use of DOS conventional memory, available through BBS and Internet.

The adapter comes with LANAID Vers.-2.0. This is an enhanced version of LANAID. Older versions of LANAID will not work with the Auto Wake Token-Ring ISA Adapter, however LANAID 2.0 will work with older IBM Auto 16/4 Token-Ring ISA adapters.

Compatibility with Shadowing

If shadowing is in use, you should disable shadowing of BIOS (shadow RAM) or shadow cache for the memory (RAM and ROM) used by this adapter, if it is configurable with the System BIOS Configuration Setup Utility shipped with the system. In some machines yoou do not need to disable both the shadow RAM and shadow cache. This utility is usually accessed during power ON of the system with keystrokes that are unique to each manufacturer.

Attaching the WakeUp and Power Mgmt. Cables

Attach the two-wire WakeUp cable to Card pos-J3 and the other end to system board (e.g. on PC730/PC750 is J14).

Attach the three-wire auxiliary power cable from the power supply, to J4 on the adapter. (In PC730/PC750 the aux. cable is labelled P9 or P12.)
