TORRANCE, CA - August 15, 1995 — TRENDnet, the leading innovator in workgroup solutions, announces today the introduction of a new 16-bit Plug and Play Ethernet card, TE-16PnP.

The TE-16PnP is a new Plug and Play (PnP) Ethernet adapter built on the technology of TRENDnet’s best selling TE-16XP Ethernet adapter. The TE-16PnP adapter incorporate new Plug and Play technology which allows PnP systems to automatically configure installed devices without users’ intervention. This Plug and Play technology is revolutionary in that it eliminates the guess-work involved in upgrading PCs.

Ease-of-use, regardless of the type of PC used, is undoubtedly the most significant feature of the TE-16PnP cards. After inserting a TE-16PnP card in your computer, configuration is exceedingly simple for both traditional PC systems (without PnP functionality) and the newer PnP-compliant computers. With non-PnP systems , just insert the card in your computer and run the TE-16PnP setup program. This program makes establishing a working configuration nearly effortless. On-line help answers any questions you might have and diagnostics verify that selected settings work flawlessly.
