LevelOne Industrial Gigabit PoE Injector, 36W, 802.3at/af PoE

TG-3269 is a PCI-bus Gigabit Ethernet adapter that supports 10/100/1000 Mbps data rates and operates on a 32-bit 33/66 MHz PCI interface. The card accepts a single UTP/STP cable and uses Auto-Negotiation (Nway) to automatically select 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps speeds and half- or full-duplex mode with the connected network device. It is compliant with PCI 2.2 and supports ACPI. A full set of drivers is provided for major operating systems.

Advantages

The adapter provides backward compatibility with 10/100 Mbps networks while enabling Gigabit performance when connected to compatible equipment. Auto-Negotiation simplifies connection setup by detecting link speed and duplex. Compliance with IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3ab standards and PCI 2.2 ensures interoperability and reliable operation across systems. Driver support covers mainstream operating systems for straightforward installation.

Key specifications

• Interface: 32-bit PCI, 33/66 MHz
• Data rates: 10/100/1000 Mbps
• Media: UTP/STP (single cable)
• Auto-Negotiation: Nway (speed and duplex)
• Standards: IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab
• PCI compliance: PCI 2.2

How to use

Insert the TG-3269 into an available 32-bit PCI slot on the motherboard and secure it according to the chassis instructions. Connect a UTP or STP Ethernet cable between the adapter’s RJ-45 port and a compatible switch, hub or router. On power-up the adapter and link partner will use Auto-Negotiation to determine the highest common speed and duplex setting. Install the appropriate driver for your operating system from the provided driver set or the manufacturer’s website, then verify the network link and configure IP settings as required by your network.

Recommendations

Use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and compatible Gigabit-capable network equipment to achieve 1000 Mbps performance. Ensure the system BIOS and operating system are updated and install the correct driver version to maintain stability and compatibility.
