Allied Telesis AT-2700 series - Manual

CHOICE & FLEXIBILITY
Allied Telesyn’s AT-2700 series of PCI Fast Ethernet
adapters include dedicated copper and fiber versions, as
well as a combination copper/fiber card for mixed cabling
environments.
• AT-2700FX - for fiber only networks requiring
a high-performance Fast Ethernet card.
• AT-2700TX - for copper only networks.
• AT-2700FTX - for environments where 100Mbps
fiber co-exists with 10/100Mbps copper cabling.
This is a common occurrence in networks that
deploy fiber to increase certain segment lengths or
to protect data integrity in high emissions areas such
as manufacturing. By having both 110Mbps fiber and
10/100Mbps copper connectors on a single card,
network administrators need only open a PC case
once and install the AT-2700FTX card.The PC may
then be deployed and re-deployed quickly and cost-
effectively, regardless of the cabling connection.
STANDARD & LOW-PROFILE FORMATS
The AT-2700FX and AT-2700FTX adapters are available
in both traditional and new low-profile PCI formats. The
new low-profile format uses a smaller 2.5" access slot,
rather than the traditional 4.2" slot. Low-profile designs
are being adopted by all the major PC manufacturers in
order to offer smaller desktop systems with expansion
capabilities equivalent to, or better than, previous-
generation systems.
PERFORMANCE
Allied Telesyn PCI bus adapter cards are designed to get
the maximum performance from your PC. By off-loading
almost all of the Fast Ethernet networking functions to
the adapter card, the CPU in a computer is free to run
applications faster. The card also operates in both full and
half-duplex modes, allowing the user to double the per-
formance of the network.
STANDARDS BASED
The AT-2700 series of Fast Ethernet network adapter
cards support Microsoft's latest standards, including
ACPI, OnNow power management and DMI network
management functions. AT-Setup, Allied Telesyn’s user-
friendly installation utility, simplifies installation under
Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP.
