Key Features

  • Madge Price / Performance - Best value “without compromise” 16/4 PCI Token Ring connection.
  • Auto-Ring Speed Detect, DTR support and WireSenseTM - Simple installation and configuration ensures no disruption to the existing network. Moves and changes can be implemented without having to reconfigure the adapter.
  • Common UniDriver support - RapidFire 3140V2 can be deployed alongside other Madge PCI adapters, GoCard, PCMCIA and CardBus laptop cards using the same driver suite.
  • Added value feature set - Wide OS support and advanced functionality make this the most competitive 16/4 adapter.
  • Unattended installation for Windows - Eases roll-out of Windows clients. Fast, simple, efficient and fault free installation and configuration.
  • Wake-on-LAN and ACPI 1.0 PC power management - Advanced Configuration and Power Interface is a fundamental part of future Microsoft and Intel platforms. It enables management applications to costeffectively control the power consumption of a PC. Wake -on-LAN allows remote PC wake -up and management.
  • Remote boot capability - Allows central boot management for improved security and control for networked PCs.

Madge RapidFire 3140V2 PCI Token Ring Adapter

The Madge RapidFire Token Ring 16/4 PCI adapters offer high performance, low CPU utilization and a rich set of valuable features, such as Wakeon-LAN and remote boot support. The RapidFire is available in Standard PCI profile as 3140 and the Low Profile PCI format as 31-04. Also available with fixed BootROM (special order).

Easy Integration
The Madge RapidFire 3140 easily integrates into any network. It is compatible with the latest PCIbased 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 most major operating systems are available from www.madge.com/software. Unattended installation is supported for Windows simplifying workstation rollouts.

Madge LAN Support Software (LSS) supports not only RapidFire 3140, but also all other Madge Token Ring adapters including CardBus, GoCard and PCMCIA and is available 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 is the most cost-effective 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, Madge RapidFire 3140 supports the industry initiatives including Wake -on-LAN, Remote Boot, ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) and promiscuous mode (network interrogation) support.

The BootROM socket (or fixed device) 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 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 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 re mote management console using Microsoft OnNow.
