Advantages
Robust connector ensures a network connection no matter how much
use the laptop gets.
Multiple DOS memory configuration options either through Madge’s
unique LSS Smart software or Novell’s Client-32.
Installation methods common with all Madge’s adapters, means
that laptops can be easily deployed in a network.
Support for a wide range of standards including Hot-swapping and
Winsock.
Robust LAN Connection
The nature of mobile computing dictates that laptop connectors
are exposed to a greater level of stress than in desktop environments.
To ensure that the network connection is never compromised, the
Smart PCMCIA uses the latest highly reliable network cable connector
while enabling X-Jack modems to co-exist in adjacent slots.
Multiple Memory Options
Madge provides a number of options to combat the memory problems
suffered by DOS laptop users. When combined with Smart software,the
512KB on-boardmemory allows downloading of combinations of ODI,
NDIS, LLC, NetBIOS, IPX or TCP/IP protocols, offering significant
DOS conventional memory savings over other driver configurations.
Support is also offered for Novell’s Client-32 drivers, which
give further DOS memory configuration options by allowing network
drivers to be loaded into DOS extended memory, thus freeing conventional
memory for use by other applications. When using Card & Socket
services supplied by laptop vendors, many users can find problems
with the size of these drivers.
Madge supplies Smart 16/4 PCMCIA specific Card & Socket services
to reduce memory usage and simplify installation.
Simplicity and Convenience
Madge’s LSS LAN Support Software provides maximum functionality
for laptop users to operate in both networked and standalone modes.
Hot-swap allows users to connect or remove a PCMCIA adapter without
the need to re-boot. Dual docking configurations enable use of
a PCMCIA adapter when undocked and a docking station resident adapter
when docked.
To allow laptop users to be easily integrated into the corporate
LAN, the Smart 16/4 PCMCIA Mk2 is installed via the same familiar
utilities used to configure Madge’s desktop adapters.
Performance
The Smart 16/4 PCMCIA MK2 provides performance comparable to an
internal-based Token Ring adapter. This makes it significantly
faster than alternative laptop connectivity options, such as an
external parallel port adapter or a PC-to-PC serial link.
Operating System Support
The adapter is supported by Madge’s LSS LAN Support Software,
a comprehensive suite of drivers and utilities for all Madge supplied
adapters. This includes a range of host-resident drivers for highest
performance, and Madge’s unique adapter-resident Smart Software
for multi-protocol drivers.
