A Plug and Play computer automatically configures the settings for DMA channel, IRQ, and Base I/O address. The Netelligent 4/16 TR ISA controller also ships with NICStart, an exclusive menu-driven installation/configuration/diagnostic utility.??Automatic Media Detection automatically detects STP or UTP media-type and configures itself accordingly. Scalable Clock Architecture lets you adjust the frequency of the onboard clock to 4 or 6 MHz, thereby increasing the pocket processing rate capability by over 40% for improved network throughput. This controller utilizes bus-mastering technology to maximize throughput and minimize CPU utilization. For machines that do not support bus mastering, Compaq also supports 16-bit programmed I/O data transfers. A 256 KB RAM buffer helps prevent data overflow, thereby improving overall network efficiency. Racket mounted ring insertion and activity LEDs provide easy troubleshooting. NICStart streamlines the installation, configuration and testing of...
