At a glance
The 3Com 3C905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL PCI 10/100Mbps Ethernet Network Interface Card offers:
- New Remote System Alert Support: Allows the NIC or ASIC to continuously monitor the PC, tracking events such as environmental problems, boot failures, tampering or theft and transmitting a remote system alert to a network management console to proactively notify IS departments of system problems.
- Remote Wake Up: Remote power-on enables after-hours administration without traveling to each desktop.
- New PCI 2.2 Compliance: PCI 2.2 adds the Remote Wake Up (RWU) support to the PCI bus, eliminating the need for a separate cable.
- New Network Keepalives: Makes Remote Wake Up more reliable by resolving end station address aging issues in routers and switches which can prevent a sleeping end station from being accessible to remote management applications.
- Improved DMI 2.0 Support: Enables PC asset management and diagnostics via standard DMI browsers with 3Com DMI extensions for remote configuration of desktop management features.
- ACPI compliance: Reduces power consumption and enables Remote Wake Up.
- WfM Support: Support for Wired for Management 1.1a, flash upgradeable to WfM 2.0.
- New Automatic power-up configuration: The NIC or ASIC is configured independently of the BIOS or OS operation, which allows it to function reliably in situations where the main CPU, BIOS or OS is unavailable or unable to run, such as before initial power up, after a power failure, or at a system failure.
- Intelligence: DynamicAccess technology adds intelligence to NICs to optimize overall network performance, control, and management. Traffic Prioritization: standards-based solution preventing delays in transmission of critical data. DRMON Smart Agent: advanced network management and RMON reporting, even in switched networks. Flow Control: efficient data transfer in switched networks.
- Performance: Parallel Tasking II performance delivers the industry's best performance and the lowest CPU utilization.
- Industry leading reliability and compatibility: Trouble-free operation
- Standards-based solutions: The 3C905C-TX and the 3C920 ASIC support a broad range of Pre-OS Boot protocols, as well as the emerging standard for remote system alerts (PETF), making these products the choice for OEMs seeking to implement standards-based solutions.
- Compliance with key industry standards and initiatives: The 3C905C-TX NIC and the 3C920 ASIC include support for PCI 2.2, PC99, DMI 2.0, ACPI and Wired for Management.
