TRENDnet TE-16PNP Manual - Page 2

The TE-16PnP cards comply with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards and use VLSI components for enhanced reliability. The following are a few of the cards' distinctive features. • Easy Installation: The cards have no physical jumpers or DIP switches. When installed in a PnP computer, configuration is handled entirely by the system with no user intervention. In non-PnP systems, configuration is accomplished through an innovative setup program provided with the TE-16PnP package. In either case, assignment of system resources is handled through software instead of physical jumpers. Once the card is inserted into a slot in your computer, you don't need to remove it to change its settings. • Support for 8-bit and 16-bit expansion slots: The cards can be used in 8-bit (the sort XTstyle) or 16-bit (AT-style) expansion slots. The card automatically detects the type of slot being used. • Use of NE-2000 Drivers: The TE-16PnP cards can use the same network drivers as the Novell NE-2000. • Setup/Diagnostic program and LEDs: The TE-16PnP setup/diagnostic program tests all card functions to verify correct operation of the card. The LEDs on the card report network activity. • Remote boot function: The cards can be used on PCs or diskless workstations for remote booting on the network. To use the remote boot function, a remote boot ROM (purchased separately) must be installed on the card. • Runs a wide variety of networking software: The TE-16PnP cards can be used with all popular networking software. A complete list of supported software can be found at the end of this guide in the Specifications section. Quick Installation Guide Congratulations on your purchase of a TE-16PnP adapter.
