3Com EtherLink data sheet ® EtherLink 10 Mbps Desktop Network Interface Cards The world’s best-selling Ethernet NICs, providing unmatched performance, reliability, and compatibility. Key Benefits Fastest performance. 3Com’s patented Parallel Tasking® technology gives all EtherLink® NICs unsurpassed throughput. In addition, 3Com Parallel Tasking II performance is available on all EtherLink XL PCI NICs for lower CPU utilization and increased application performance. Broad compatibility. Fully compatible with IEEE 802.3 standards, EtherLink NICs are available for PCI, ISA, EISA, and MCA bus computers, and support the industry’s widest range of desktop and network operating systems. Top value and reliability. All NIC components are integrated into one ASIC for optimal reliability at low cost. State-of-the-art manufacturing plus high component integration provides exceptional reliability. 3Com backs all EtherLink NICs with a lifetime limited warranty. Easy to install and manage. EtherLink III and EtherLink XL NICs are automatically detected and configured by the Windows 95 and Windows 98 plug-and-play feature. 3Com AutoLink™ software automates configuration for DOS and Windows 3.1 PCs as well as installation of NetWare client files. All the NICs provide SNMP and DMI manageability. XL NICs support Desktop dRMON. The EtherLink® family of network interface cards (NICs). 3Com is the marketshare leader in Ethernet and Fast Ethernet NICs. Our EtherLink® XL and EtherLink III NICs deliver unmatched reliability and software compatibility, as well as the fastest throughput of any NICs available today. Simultaneously performing multiple processing tasks, these NICs with Parallel Tasking® performance bring your PC system the fastest data transfer speeds whether the bus is ISA, PCI, MCA, or EISA. Parallel Tasking II technology boosts the performance of your PC’s PCI bus connections by optimizing design features inherent to the PCI bus. EtherLink NICs feature DynamicAccess® software which adds intelligence to the NIC to optimize overall network performance, control, and management. 3Com NICs support Windows 95 and Windows 98 plug-and-play features, and 3Com’s AutoLink™ auto-installation software automates installation and configuration tasks for DOS and Windows 3.x systems in a NetWare environment. A single menu choice completes the installation, including the downloading of NetWare Universal client files from the server. For optimal reliability, the EtherLink NICs’ components are integrated into one ASIC. And 3Com backs all EtherLink XL and EtherLink III NICs with a limited lifetime warranty. Network Interface Cards 10 Mbps Ethernet Innovative Technology in the EtherLink NICs Parallel Tasking II: Another Breakthrough Performance Advancement Patented Parallel Tasking technology from 3Com revolutionized NIC performance by accelerating the speed at which packets are transferred from the network wire to the NIC. Parallel Tasking II technology, designed specifically for the PCI bus, takes 3Com’s NIC performance to the next level by improving the speed at which data is passed from the NIC to the host PC. This is achieved by exploiting the latest developments in PCI chip and bus design. With this latest advancement, 3Com’s EtherLink XL PCI NIC outperforms the leading competitor by up to 9%, according to an independent test by LANQuest Labs. Parallel Tasking and Parallel Tasking II Performance The original Parallel Tasking performance focused on the speed at which packets were transferred to the network. Parallel Tasking II performance builds on this by improving the speed that data is passed to the host PC. Original Parallel Tasking Parallel Tasking II Continuous data stream Network Wire Receive Host PC memory Write PCI Bus Interface Receive and Write processing tasks are performed simultaneously, optimizing data throughput. Eliminates PCI-bus bottleneck by continuously sending data as long as it is available for write-to-system memory. Performance/Efficiency Index (Single Server and Five Clients) Formerly a NIC was limited to transferring data across the PCI bus at a maximum of 64 bytes for one bus master operation. In order for one full 1514-byte packet to be transferred to the host PC, 24 separate bus master operations were required, resulting in an inefficient bus. With Parallel Tasking II performance the NIC can stream up to a full Ethernet packet over the bus during a single bus master operation, greatly increasing the efficiency of the PCI bus. The results are faster throughput and improved system performance, which allows desktop and server applications to perform better.
