The TE-16PnP cards comply with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards and use VLSI components for
enhanced reliability. The following are a few of the cards’ distinctive features.
•
Easy Installation
: The cards have no physical jumpers or DIP switches. When installed in a
PnP computer, configuration is handled entirely by the system with no user intervention. In
non-PnP systems, configuration is accomplished through an innovative setup program
provided with the TE-16PnP package. In either case, assignment of system resources is
handled through software instead of physical jumpers. Once the card is inserted into a slot in
your computer, you don’t need to remove it to change its settings.
•
Support for 8-bit and 16-bit expansion slots
: The cards can be used in 8-bit (the sort XT-
style) or 16-bit (AT-style) expansion slots. The card automatically detects the type of slot
being used.
•
Use of NE-2000 Drivers
: The TE-16PnP cards can use the same network drivers as the
Novell NE-2000.
•
Setup/Diagnostic program and LEDs
: The TE-16PnP setup/diagnostic program tests all
card functions to verify correct operation of the card. The LEDs on the card report network
activity.
•
Remote boot function
: The cards can be used on PCs or diskless workstations for remote
booting on the network. To use the remote boot function, a remote boot ROM (purchased
separately) must be installed on the card.
•
Runs a wide variety of networking software
: The TE-16PnP cards can be used with all
popular networking software. A complete list of supported software can be found at the end
of this guide in the Specifications section.
