EFA020x PCI CARDS
LANart EFA020x series PCI Fiber-Optic Adapters, EFA0201. EFA0202, and EFA0203, are 32-bit bus-mastering PCI
cards that support both half-duplex and full-duplex operation.
LANart EFA020x adapters comply with PCI Specifications, revision 2.1, and with both IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL and
802.3u 100BASE-FX standards
EFA0201
Provides one (1) connection to 10BASE-FL fiber cable.
EFA0202
Provides one (1) connection to 100BASE-FX fiber
cable.
EFA0203
Provides one (1) connection to 10BASE-FL fiber cable
AND one (1) connection to 100BASE-FX fiber cable.
NOTE: Only one EFA0203 connection, 100BASE-FX
OR 10BASE-FL, is operational at any one time. Moving
cable between the 10BASE-FL connection and the
100BASE-FX connection selects a change in speed. If
cable is inatalled at BOTH connections on the
EFA0203, then, as long as the Fast Ethernet link is
available, the LANart NIC operates at 100Mbps and
the 10BASE-FL link is inactive. Should the 100Mbps
network become unavailable - due to a fault at any
point on the network - the LANart NIC seamlessly
switches activity to the 10BASE-FL port and continu-
ously monitors the 100BASE-FX network for a restored
link. When the Fast Ethernet link is restored, the
LANart NIC seamlessly switches activity back to the
100BASE-FX port.
LED INDICATORS
The two LEDs closest to each connector shows link status and activity for that port. Collision, full-duplex, and
10Mbps/100Mbps selection LEDs apply to the active network port.
LNK
(L(i)nk integrity) Steady green LED indicates link is able to pass data.
Dark LED indicates link is unavailable. To correct, verify that the RX port is cabled to
the TX port at the far end of the cable, and vice versa. Also verify that the equipment is
functioning at the far end and that the cabling does not exceed IEEE 802.3(u) recom-
mended lengths.
ACT
(Act(ivity)) Flashing yellow LED indicates link is passing traffic
Dark LED indicates link is idle. NOTE: If link is unavailable, indicator is dark.
FD
(F(ull) D(uplex)) Steady green LED indicates full duplex mode.
Dark LED indicates half duplex mode.
COL
(COL(lisiion)) Flashing yellow LED indicates network activity.
100
(Port selectiion) Steady green LED indicates that EFA0203 100BASE-FX port has been
(automatically) selected as the active link.
Dark LED indicates that EFA0203 10BASE-FL port has been (automatically) selected as
the active link.
