20 C HAPTER 1: I NTRODUCTION Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p/Q) — Ensures thatbusiness-critical and delay-sensitive traffic (such asmultimedia applications) has priority over normal data. Fast IP — Eliminates router bottlenecks and improvesperformance in switched networks. Efficient multicast control — Prevents flooding ofswitched networks by multicast applications suchas video training, stock quotes, or online news.The DynamicAccess LAN agent can be installed on a PCrunning Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT. SeeAppendix B, “Installing the DynamicAccess LAN Agent,”for more information.For detailed information on the DynamicAccess LAN agent,see the DynamicAccess Technology User Guide located onthe EtherCD. Information is also available at:http://www.3com.com/dynamicaccessRemote System AlertsThe 3C905C-TX-M NIC can be configured to continuouslytransmit a packet to an alert target management station.If the management station fails to receive the regularlyscheduled packet, an alert can be triggered that signalsa possible PC power loss or theft.The 3C905C-TX-M NIC can also transmit a workgroupkeep-alive packet periodically while the PC is in a sleepstate. This packet prevents the PC’s workstation addressfrom being aged-out of switch and router tables.Only system administrators should configure thesefeatures. See the ADVCONFG.TXT file located in theHELP directory on the EtherCD for more information.
