INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Level One

FNC-0107TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet

Adapter, the value leader among Fast

Ethernet adapters for PCI−Bus personal

computers. This Introduction chapter

will be useful if you are new to Fast

Ethernet and other new technology

featured by the 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet

Adapter. Otherwise, skip ahead to the

Installation chapter.

About Fast Ethernet

Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified

by IEEE Standard 802.3u. It extends the

traditional 10Mbps Ethernet technology to

achieve 100Mbps transmission and reception,

while retaining the same CSMA/CD Ethernet

protocol. Thus while Fast Ethernet provides a

tenfold increase in network capacity, it is wholly

compatible with traditional 10Mbps Ethernet

network facilities.

AboutAuto-negotiation

Auto-negotiation is an IEEE 802.3 procedure of

negotiating the highest data flow capability

between the device (in this case, our Adapter)

and their links partner (some other device). The

data flow information, to be negotiated, consists

of the data speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps) and data

transfer (half-duplex or full-duplex

communication). The physical process of

auto-negotiation requires only a few milliseconds

FNC-0107TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter

to choose the fastest communications capability

between the two devices.

About WOL (for WOL model only)

WOL (Wake-On-LAN) is an ACPI function

allowing a powered OFF computer to be

powered ON from a remote station. ACPI

(Advanced Configuration Power Interface) is a

new technology and an open industry

specification to provide power management

support systems through hardware and operating

system cooperation. To use the WOL feature,

the NIC must be WOL capable and the

motherboard of the PC (for which the card is

installed) must be of ACPI architecture.

While the powered OFF computer sleeps, the

WOL NIC monitors LAN traffic for valid

Wake-up frames. The NIC will determine

whether a received Wake-up frame is addressed

to the PC. If so, the NIC will send a signal to

the motherboard to power ON the computer.

What is the utility in the WOL card?

•”I forgot a document and I'mout of town?”

Send a Wake-up signal to your computer

and transfer the needed file to your location.

•Initiate long routines and reports before you

get to work.

•Transfer files when the network traffic is

low (during late hours).

•Power ON your PC before you arrive to

work.

FNC-0107TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter

WOL has great utility in power management of

PCs, workstations, and kiosks.

Product Featues

Designed for versatility and performance, the

FNC-0107TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet

Adapter provides the following features:

•Wake-On-LAN (WOL) provides great utility

for power management of PC.

•Operates in a PCI Bus Master slot of a

Pentium/ Pentium-Pro/ Pentium-II computer,

independent of CPU speed.

•PCI Bus Master memory access, for high

throughput and low CPU demand.

•Plug and Play installation.

•100Mbps Fast Ethernet or 10Mbps Ethernet

data transfer, selected via auto-negotiation.

•Full-duplex or half-duplex operation,

selected by auto-negotiation.

•Built-in FIFO buffers reduce overhead of

memory transfers.

•Drivers for all leading Network Operating

Systems.

•Two LED indicators: Link, Activity.

•LINK Indicator

A steady green LED indicates good

linkage between the FNC-0107TX

10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter and its

supporting hub.

•ACTIVITY Indicator

FNC-0107TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter

A flashing green LED indicates that the

adapter is sending or receiving data.

INSTALLATION

Installation of a FNC-0107TX 10/100Mbps Fast

Ethernet Adapter requires Hardware installation

first, then BIOS and Software installation.

Hardware Installation

1. Trun OFF the computer, unplug its power

cord and open the computer case.

2. Insert the contact edge of the FCN-0107TX

10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter into the

connector of any available PCI Bus Master

expansion slot. Press the card firmly into

the connector and ascertain that the card

contacts are fully seated in the connector.

3. For WOL model, connect the WOL cable to

the NIC WOL connector. Both ends of the

WOL cable are identical, so either and may

be used.

4. Install the bracket screw, which secures the

card to the cinouter chassis.

5. Replace the computer’s case and connect

the network cable to newly installed

network card. Reconnect the computer’s

power cord and plug it into the power

outlet.

BIOS Configuration

Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS

programs, it happens occasionally that a newly

installed adapter is assigned an Interrupt Number

which is already assigned to another device. In

such a case, the conflict of Interrupt Number will

cause faults in the behavior of both devices.

Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup

utility, and manually assign a non-conflicting

Interrupt Number.

Driver Installation

Before you connect the FNC-0107TX

10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter to the

network, you have to install the network driver

first. The driver for each networking operating

system is under a separate directory. A

HELP8139.EXE file under root directory lists

the information and detailed installation

procedure of all the available drivers.

Boot ROM Installation

The optional Boot ROM device allows you to

connect a diskless workstation to the network.

Perform the following steps to install your Boot

ROM device:

1. Insert the Boot ROM into the socket on the

Card.

FNC-0107TX 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter

2. Refer to the installation procedure provided

by networking operating system.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience any problems with the adapter,

first verify that the appropriate driver is loaded,

that the proper grade of cable is employed for the

network connection, and that the supporting hub

is functioning properly.

1. Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and

firmly seated in the slot connector.

2. Check the length and rating of connecting

cables.

3. Ascertain that the adapter's PCI slot is not

deactivated at the BIOS level. The CMOS

Setup utility in PCI computers ordinarily

provides the option to activate or deactivate

PCI slots.

4. Replace the adapter in question with a

verified adapter and run RSET8139.EXE

diagnostic tests on the sofrware diskette at

directory of \DIAG\.

5. Install the questioned adapter in another PCI

computer and run the tests again.

Remove all other PCI adapters from the

computer and run the tests again. If the

verification/diagnostic run is not normal, then

there is probably an interrupt number conflict

which will have to be resolved manually by a

CMOS Setup utility run after you have

reinstalled all of the expansion cards.
