DynamicAccess ® technology is an advanced network driver that improves
performance, management, and control of your network. DynamicAccess
technology is copied to your hard drive, but not installed, when you install
the NIC software.
DynamicAccess technology adds intelligence to the NIC by integrating the
following features:
Distributed RMON (dRMON)—Enables full RMON reporting on all network
segments, including switched networks, without needing to place dedicated
RMON probes throughout the network
Traffic Prioritization—Ensures that business-critical and delay-sensitive traffic
(such as multimedia applications) has priority over normal data
Fast IP—Eliminates router bottlenecks and improves performance in
switched networks
Efficient multicast control—prevents flooding of switched networks by
multicast applications such as video training, stock quotes, or online news
For detailed information about DynamicAccess technology, access the
3Com World Wide Web site.

DynamicAccess technology can only be installed on a PC running Windows 2000,
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows NT 3.51.
CAUTION: If you plan to install DynamicAccess technology on a multiprocessor PC
running Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack 4, you must first download and install the
appropriate Microsoft patch.
Go to: http://www.3com.com/dynamicaccess/hotfixes.
Failure to install the patch will result in system failure.
