Compaq raises the bar in overall Token Ringcontroller value (price:performance) with the Netelligent 4/16 TR ISA UTP/STPController. The industry's first Plug and Play ISA Token Ring controller offersthe ultimate in ease of installation and use. This 4/16Mb/s Token Ringcontroller goes beyond software configuration to provide auto configuration-aPlug and Play computer automatically configures the settings for DMA channelIRQ and Base I/O address. Exceptional performance is achieved through theutilization of both bus-mastering design and Compaq's exclusive Scalable ClockArchitecture. Bus-mastering technology will maximize throughput and minimize CPUutilization. For units that do not support bus-mastering Compaq also supports16-bit programmed I/O data transfers. Scalable Clock Architecture allows for thefrequency adjustment of the onboard clock to either 4 or 6 MHz therebyincreasing the packet processing rate capability by over 40% for improvednetwork throughput. These controllers ship with NICStart an intuitive menudriven installation configuration and diagnostics utility that minimizes thetime necessary to install configure and test the controller. NICStart supportand Plug and Play compatibility ensure the highest level of ease-of-useavailable. An enhanced performance driver suite provides support for most majornetwork operating systems including Novell NetWare Windows NT Windows 95Windows for Workgroups and others. The Netelligent 4/16 TR ISA UTP/STPController is fully tested for use in both Compaq and non-Compaq platforms.
