The PN102TX from Hawking is designed to give users an economical and easy migration for network expansion from 10Mbps to 100Mbps Full-Duplex operation. The PN102TX 10/100 Mbps 32-bit plug-n-play Fast Ethernet Adapter provides the Ethernet protocol 10Mbps/100Mbps with Auto-Sensing through the RJ-45 connector with Category 5 UTP cabling. The PN102TX has 4 LEDs for diagnostic monitoring and also supports all popular operating systems for network environments.

The PN102TX Fast Ethernet Adapter is in total compliance with the IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX and IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standards for 100/10 Mbps CSMA/CD local area networks. In addition, the PN102TX conforms to the PCI Revision 2.0 specifications, FCC Class A and CE certification standards.

The complex dual Ethernet protocols are achieved with PCI bus mastering architecture which increases the efficiency in packet receiving and transmission.

As noted above, 4 LEDs allow you to monitor power, port selection, link status, and activity. Furthermore, the PN102TX provides a wide range of drivers to support the most popular network operating systems, such as ODI, NDIS, SCO, UNIX, LANtastic, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, and NetWare.

The PN102TX supports ACPI, PCI power management for modern operating systems that are capable of Operating System Directed Power Management (OSPM) to achieve the most efficient power management. This network adapter is also suitable for motherboards with built-in network controller applications.
