Performance is further enhanced with 6 KB of buffer memory, which results in low CPU utilization at high throughputs. Auto-sensing capabilities enable it to automatically negotiate between 10 and 100 Mbps to achieve the highest common speed on the network. TLB provides both failover and balancing of transmit traffic across all adapters for increased performance. The NC3122 operating system drivers can be used for all Compaq 10 or 100 Mbps NC31xx series of network adapters. No driver change is required when moving from 10 to 100 Mbps.
Common drivers provide consistency, easy management and support, and save money and time.
World Class Compaq Reliability Designed with quality and investment protection in mind, the NC3122 Fast Ethernet server adapter meets all of Compaq's demanding design and manufacturing standards. The NC3122 is fully compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows NT, and is Novell NetWare certified. The Network Fault Tolerance feature of the NC3122 ensures that the server can always keep an active link. After installing a second, compatible adapter, if the primary network connection fails, the second, backup adapter will automatically take over, retaining the network connection. The NC3122 can be configured to fail over to any NC31xx, NC61xx, or NC71xx adapter by using the latest drivers.
