Product Description
Not every network requires the latest and most costly technology. Ordinary 10Mbps Ethernet hardware is still used in many or most business networks today, and unless your network users need to make use of full-motion video and other bandwidth-consuming applications, 10Mbps Ethernet is probably the smartest and most economical way to go. When you consider that a solid Ethernet adapter like the AT-2400 from Allied Telesyn sells for over 30% less than a 10/100 Fast Ethernet card, and multiply that figure by the number of cards required for your network, the total cost savings are impressive. The AT-2400 is a 32-bit PCI adapter card with support for full-duplex operation, so that a peak throughput of 20Mbps can be achieved when using a switching hub. PCI bus mastering allows the card to manage its own system resources, reducing CPU utilization and allowing the PC to devote more processing time to other applications. This version, the AT-2400T, contains a single RJ-45 port for 10Base-T networks using UTP wiring. An LED on the I/O shield indicates network traffic status, and the card contains a BootROM socket for centralized software distribution or remote booting. The AT-2400 automatically configures on power-up, dramatically reducing installation time. An easy-to-read installation guide takes you through the short process with the help of illustrations. With support for industry standards IEEE 802.2 and all major network operating systems, it's hard to find a network that can't use the AT-2400.
