Flexibility
Allied Telesyn’s AT-2451FTX PCI adapter offers
a flexible network access solution in environ-
ments 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 re-deployed,
regardless of the cabling connection.
The
A
T
-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 BOO
TP
, supporting both BBS (BIOS
Boot Specif
ication) 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 perform-
ance 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 applica-
tions with Class of Ser
vice capabilities to
pr
ioritize out-bound packet streams to the
AT-2451FTX, a useful feature for video
streaming and
V
oIP where interruptions are
unacceptable. Allied Telesyn’s AT-Setup makes
Windows driver installation as simple as a
mouse click.
