Key Benefits

Easy integration

The RapidFire 3140v2 is easily integrated into any network. It is compatible with the latest PCI-based systems and supports automatic detection and selection of the following parameters:

• 4 or 16 Mbps ring speed
• STP or UTP cable type
• Full-duplex (DTR) or shared Token Ring connection

Network drivers for all major operating systems can downloaded at www.madge.com/software and is available on a CD. Unattended installation is supported for Windows 95 and Windows NT simplifying workstation rollouts.

Madge LSS LAN Support Software supports not only RapidFire 3140 and Smart PCI adapters, but also all other Madge Token Ring adapters including CardBus, GoCard and PCMCIA. It is available at no charge from our Web site. This single suite of drivers reduces the amount of software to be maintained and
means that a single installation image or procedure can be used across all desktops, workstations, laptops and servers.

Value and performance

RapidFire 3140v2 is the most cost-effective 16/4 Token Ring connection. It features a high performance PCI bus master interface and has been enhanced with important new features that make it an ideal 16/4 Token Ring adapter.

Advanced feature set

As well as ease-of-use, cost effective pricing and high performance, RapidFire 3140v2 supports the latest industry initiatives including Wake-on-LAN, Remote Boot, ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) and promiscuous mode (network interrogation) support. Magic Packet Wake-on-LAN is a remote power management technology that allows network administrators the capability to remotely manage their PCs during the PCs normal downtime. The BootROM socket allows remote boot functionality. This gives Network Administrators the ability to make PC start up more secure and controllable. The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is a new industry standard for PCI devices. It allows an ACPI-aware PC to understand the power consumption requirements of each PCI device. This means an ACPI operating system such as Windows 98 or Windows 2000 can economically control the power state of a PC. The PC can be automatically placed in a low power state and quickly resume full operation at the command of the user or of a remote management console using Microsoft OnNow.
