How do I set up a VLAN tag with the Realtek Diagnostic Toolkit in Windows?

The drivers on our website include a Realtek Diagnostic Toolkit that you can use to easily set up a VLAN tag.

Make sure that you are logged in as the local administrator before continuing.

1. Download the latest drivers from the StarTech.com website (http://www.startech.com/Downloads). You can find the part number and product ID on the product’s packaging.

Note: Windows will typically save the files to the Downloads folder that is associated with your user account (for example, C:\Users\your_name\Downloads).

2. Once the download is complete, right-click the Realtek_PCI_GbE.zip file or the Realtek_PCIe_GbE.zip file.
3. Select Extract All and note the location that the files will be extracted to.
4. Select Extract. The extracted files will open automatically.
5. In the list of extracted files, do one of the following:

• If you are running Windows Vista/7/8, right-click the Setup.exe file and select Run as Administrator.
• If you are running Windows XP, double-click the Setup.exe file.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
7. Open the software and under the VLAN settings, you can add, delete, or modify the VID (VLAN ID).
