1 Your PC's Performance Features HP PCI Integrated 10/100VG LAN Interface HP PCI Integrated 10/100VG LAN Interface The 32-bit PCI LAN controller provides a 10Base-T/100VG AnyLAN interface. This interface uses either IEEE 802.3 technology for transmitting at 10 Mbit/s, or IEEE 802.12 technology for transmitting at 100 Mbit/s. Best performance from your PC's integrated 10/100VG LAN interface is obtained when using the 100 Mbit/s transmission rate. This rate is over 10 times the transmission rates used by standard 10Base-T networks and offers support for time-sensitive applications such as multimedia presentations. No Data Collisions The HP PCI integrated 10/100VG LAN interface uses a protocol called Demand Priority Access to avoid network collisions. Under this protocol, data packets transmitted over the network are directed only to their destination port. The data is not visible to other ports on the network. By using Demand Priority Access, you will be able to prioritize the data traffic on your network and avoid collisions between different data packets. Demand Priority Access allows you to minimize latency (unused capacity) on your network and so maximizes network throughput for time-sensitive applications. Your Network Adapter Your PCI integrated 10/100VG LAN interface requires no hardware configuration. Drivers are supplied with your PC that will enable you to use the network adapter with any type of network for all supported operating systems. For further information on the HP PCI integrated 10/100VG LAN interface, refer to the online Network Administrator's Guide supplied with your PC. English 45
