Chapter 1. Introduction to the IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Management Adapter

This chapter describes the adapter, the contents of the adapter kits, and the other materials you will need to install the adapter.

It is important that you are familiar with the computer in which the adapter will be installed and the computer’s operating system and network software.

The adapter is 32-bit, bus-master, token-ring for the PCI bus architecture. The unique, high-quality filter design supports connection to a token-ring network that is wired with shielded twisted-pair (STP) or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling. The adapter can be used in PCI-compatible slots that operate at speeds up to 33 MHz.

Features of this adapter include:

vAdapter management capability that is provided by SNMP.

vDesktop Management Interface (DMI) provided by the LAN Adapter Management

Agent. For an end-to-end management solution, you can use the agent in conjunction with the Nways® Workgroup Manager Version 1.1 or later and Nways Manager for AIX® Version 1.2 or later.

vAutomatic ring-speed detection.

vSupport for a wide variety of network operating systems and network applications.

vSupport for full-duplex (FDX), token-ring LAN operation.

vSupport for microcode update.

vAutomatic configuration of I/O, memory, ROM space, and interrupt level by PCI BIOS on power-up.

vDesigned for use with either a half-size or full-size, 5-V or 3.3-V signaling, 32-bit or 64-bit PCI-bus slot.

vThe IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Management Adapter uses less than 1 watt of power.

See IBM Token-Ring Adapter Features for information regarding the following features:

vDHCP

vRemote Program Load (RPL)

vLAN Adapter Management Agent

vRoute Switching

vClass of Service (CoS)

vRedundant NIC (RNIC)

vTivoli® Management Agent
