FNC-0103/0104FX

Fast Ethernet 100Base-FX

User's Manual

(9802-Rev. D1)

1. Checklist

Before you start installing the FNC-0103/0104FX, verify that

the package contains the following items:

 FNC-0103/0104FX Board

 LAN Driver Diskette

 This User's Manual

Please notify your sales representative immediately if any of

the aforementioned items is missing or damaged.

2. Overview

FNC-0103/0104FX is a PCI Fast Ethernet Board that fully

complies with all IEEE 802.3u, 100Base-FX standards. Four

LED indicators(LINK, ACT, COL and FDX) on the bracket

will help to oversee the network/board link, activities,

collision and full-duplex status.

3. FNC-0103/0104FX PCI Configuration

For motherboards with automatic PCI configuration:

 No specific setup is needed

 You can enter the system BIOS setup menu to view or

specify the interrupt line of the PCI slots

For motherboards with bus master & interrupt jumpers:

 Enable bus master operation in a selected PCI slot and

select an interrupt (IRQ) level using the appropriate

motherboard jumper

 Enable I/O on the FNC-0103/0104FX PCI slot

4. PCI Bus System & Configuration

• Ensure that the PCI machine does support master slots,

INT multiple sharing and timing compatibility. Do not

install FNC-0103/0104FX in PCI slave slots. Please refer

to your PCI system manual and select the appropriate

configuration settings.

• When installing multiple FNC-0103/0104FX boards at

the server station, you should correctly configure the

IRQ settings of the PCI slot. Up to four FNC-

0103/0104FX boards can be installed in a PCI file server

running NetWare system. The FNC-0103/0104FX server

boards share the same interrupt line with the driver

supporting multiple INT services at a time. Each FNC-

0103/0104FX's IRQ should not conflict with that of

other board.

• Operation in full or half-duplex(Default) mode is

configured by LAN driver options. The operating mode

should match the remote link device working status.

• You must use EMM386 version 4.49 or higher, and

install both DOS & EMM386 that came from the same

DOS package to avoid software problems.

5. Network Connection

100Base-FX/TX network allows 512-bit time delay between

any two node stations in a collision domain. The Fiber/TP

cable with devices’ bit-time delay(round trip) are as below:

100Base-FX 100Base-TX

DTE↔DTE : 100 DTE↔DTE : 100

Class II Hub: 92 Class II Hub : 92

Fiber Cable : 1.0 /m Cat. 5 TP Wire: 1.112/m

DTE FX to DTE TX: 100

100Base-FX to 100Base-TX Converter: 56

The overall bit-time of Fiber/TP wires and devices must be

within 512 bit in a segment. You may use Switching Hub to

break up collision domain and extend the cabling distance.
