Overview |

100VG-AnyLAN Network Adapter (B5426AA) is a high-speed network
link providing HP 3000 Series 900 systems that have HP-PB (HP Precision
Bus, also known as NIO) backplanes, with a connection to a 100VG
local area network. The 100VG adapter connects to the 100 Mb/s (Megabits
per second) network through any 100VG hub or switch meeting the
IEEE 802.12 standards.
100VG-AnyLAN takes advantage of collision-avoidance and noise-immunity
characteristics of the 100VG protocol to provide high network reliability.
It provides an evolutionary path for HP 3000 customers needing increased
throughput over their existing 10 Mb LAN links.
100VG-AnyLAN Network Adapter is configured and managed the
same way as current ThinLAN, Token Ring, and FDDI 3000/iX link products.
100VG-AnyLAN Network Link includes the 100VG network adapter,
100 Mb driver components, and hardware product manuals. TCP/IP Transport
is already included with the HP 3000/iX fundamental operating system
(FOS).
