Remote Wake-up

Remote Wake-Up support is enabled for the 3C905B-TX NIC. If you are using the 3C905B-TX NIC in a PC that supports Remote Wake-Up through the PCI bus, the 3Com NIC receives wake-up signals and wakes the PC from a sleep state.

Installation and Configuration

The 3Com NIC Diagnostics program allows you to test the 3C905B-TX NIC, configure it, and display the NIC configuration information. If you are running DOS, you cannot use this program.

The NIC Diagnostics Help system includes the 3C905B-TX Release Notes, Frequently Asked Questions, and KnowledgeBase.

Microsoft Windows 95 detects the 3C905B-TX NIC and installs the network driver from 3Com EtherDisk Diskette #2.

The AutoLinkinstallation software automatically installs all Novell NetWare DOS ODI client software into your operating system.

10/100 Mbps Support

The single RJ-45 connector on the network cable supports 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps speeds.

NWay auto-negotiation enables the 3C905B-TX NIC to automatically run at the speed that the connected hub supports. The 3C905B-TX NIC works with products that comply with IEEE 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX specifications.
