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

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.

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

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.

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.
