OVERVIEW

The IBM 16/4 Token Ring PCI Special Adapter is built on IBM’s flagship technology and is designed to decrease cost while increasing performance for
customers in a Token Ring environment. The IBM16/4 Token Ring PCI Special NIC has features for both ProLiant Server’s and Deskpro PC’s customers.

PERFORMANCE

Dedicated Token Ring (DTR)

Full bandwidth can be dedicated to a workstation by providing a direct connection between it and a Token Ring switch that supports DTR. Full-duplex
support allows the IBM 16/4 Token Ring PCI Special Adapter to transmit and receive data simultaneously for rates up to 32 Mbps.

SECURITY/RELIABILITY

PCI Hot Plug Support

This feature enables adapters to be replaced or added to a PCI Hot Plug compatible server without having to power off the server. This can reduce
maintenance time and allows for system maintenance during regular business hours. Currently this functionally is only supported on Novell NetWare.

NETWORK MANAGEMENT

Wake On LAN

IBM 16/4 Token Ring PCI Special NIC provides one of the popular methods of Wake on LAN support: using a 3-pin header. A system that supports Wake
on LAN can remain available to a systems administrator during its normal downtime. Once the machine is awakened, the systems administrator can
remotely control, audit, debug or manage the machine.

Manageability

Along with Wake on LAN, the IBM 16/4 Token Ring PCI Special Adapter also provides standard SNMP MIB and DMI 2.0 support.

EASE OF USE

Plug and Play

The IBM 16/4 Token Ring PCI Special Adapter features a robust plug and play capability for conflict-free auto configuration. Compaq’s SmartStart
configuration utility includes diskette images for the IBM 16/4 Token Ring PCI Special NIC so the NIC can be configured easily in server environments.

Driver Support

IBM 16/4 Token Ring PCI Special Adapter drivers are backward compatible with the Compaq 16/4 TR PCI IBM UTP/STP Controller and thus protect
customer’s current investments.

Auto-negotiation

Auto-sensing capabilities enable the IBM 16/4 Token Ring PCI Special Adapter to automatically negotiate between 4 and 16 Mbps to achieve the highest
common speed on the ne tw ork. As businesses evolve from 4 to 16 Mbps Token Ring networks, there will be no need to buy new Token Ring NICs.
