Fast Ethernet PCI
SMC’s Fast Ethernet PCI, SMC1255TX-PF, is a dual-speed card
for PCI local bus-compliant computers. A true plug-and-play device, this
card is auto-configurable upon power up and also supports
auto-negotiation to automatically select the optimum speed and
communication mode of an attached device. This PCI complies
with ACPI and OnNow PC98/PC99 and also supports Remote LAN
Wakeup. By connecting the PCI card’s Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
cable, a WOL-enabled computer can be managed remotely. Software can
be loaded and updated, configurations changed, data backed up and
inventory checked, all from a central location. See “Remote LAN Wakeup”
on page 5 for more information.
The Fast Ethernet card also provides SMC EtherGuard (personal firewall)
and WiNeTool (personal sniffer tool) features and benefits. SMC
EtherGuard prevents children/employees from visiting specified Web
sites. It also automatically blocks Trojan Horses.
