ALLIED AT-2451FTX/SC-020

32-bit Fiber Ethernet + UTP Fast Ethernet Adapter Card (SC): includes both standard and low profile brackets: 20 Pack

Allied Telesyn’s AT-2451FTX PCI adapter offers a flexible network access solution in environments where 10Mbps fiber co-exists with 10/100Mbps copper cabling. Mixed-cable environments are common in networks that deploy fiber to increase segment lengths or to
protect data integrity in high-emissions areas. By providing both 110Mbps fiber and 10/100Mbps copper connectors on the AT-2451FTX,network administrators don’t need to worry about swapping out network cards. PCs can be quickly and cost-effectively deployed and redeployed,regardless of the cabling connection. The AT-2451FTX’s onboard Managed Boot Agent (MBA) provides a wide set of industry standard boot protocols, including PXE, NetWare NCP/IPX, IBM’s RPL, traditional DHCP, and BOOTP, supporting both BBS (BIOS Boot Specification) and non-BBS compliant PCs. It also includes an extensive set of utilities for boot ROM configuration, as well as access to Pre-OS and network boot image files.
Allied Telesyn’s Card Assistant Software
Allied Telesyn’s AT-2451FTX features a full-line of card assistant software:
- AT-Setup reduces Window Driver installation to a mouse click. This Windows program guides users through driver installation, updates, and problem corrections.
- AT-Stat is an advanced Windows application that reports network conditions and performance such as hardware resources, network statistics, and configuration.
- The VLAN protocol driver allows network administrators to configure their VLAN network fabric at the PC instead of the switch, enabling transparent movement of systems between switches.
- TCP/IP Checksum off-loading improves CPU use by verifying TCP/IP traffic checksums at the adapter rather than at the host processor, improving overall system performance for slower PCs.
- Packet prioritization enables Windows applications with Class of Service capabilities to prioritize out-bound packet streams to the AT-2451FTX,a useful feature for video streaming and VoIP where interruptions are unacceptable. Allied Telesyn’s AT-Setup makes Windows driver installation as simple as a mouse click.
