DYNAMICACCESS TECHNOLOGY

DynamicAccess	DynamicAccess® technology is an advanced network driver that improves
Features	performance, management, and control of your network. DynamicAccess
	technology is copied to your hard drive, but not installed, when you install
	the NIC software.
	DynamicAccess technology adds intelligence to the NIC by integrating the
	following features:
	■ Distributed RMON (dRMON)—Enables full RMON reporting on all network
	segments, including switched networks, without needing to place dedicated
	RMON probes throughout the network
	■ Traffic Prioritization—Ensures that business-critical and delay-sensitive traffic
	(such as multimedia applications) has priority over normal data
	■ Fast IP—Eliminates router bottlenecks and improves performance in
	switched networks
	■ Efficient multicast control—prevents flooding of switched networks by
	multicast applications such as video training, stock quotes, or online news
	For detailed information about DynamicAccess technology, access the
	3Com World Wide Web site.

	running Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack 4, you must first download and install the
