that controls access to network resources based on a client computer's

not compliant, NAP provides a mechanism to automatically bring the client
back into compliance and then dynamically increase its level of network
access.
When a client attempts to access the network or communicate on the
network, it must present its system health state or proof of health
compliance. If a client cannot prove it is compliant with system health
requirements (for example, that it has the latest operating system and
antivirus updates installed), its access to the network or communication on
the network can be limited to a restricted network containing server
resources so that health compliance issues can be remedied. After the
updates are installed, the client requests access to the network or attempts
the communication again. If compliant, the client is granted unlimited
access to the network or the communication is allowed.

* Rear audio input ports are re-taskable as Line-in or Microphone-in. External
speakers must be powered externally. Multistreaming can be enabled in the ADI
control panel to allow independent audio streams to be sent to/from the front and
rear jacks. This allows for different audio applications to use separate audio ports
on the system. For example, the front jacks could be used with a headset for a
communications application while the rear jacks are being used with external
speakers and a multimedia application.
