Managed or Unmanaged?
Depending on your needs, we offer
two versions of these NICs. Most users
go with the managed version. Why?
Remote management and monitoring
features—such as remote wake up,
automatic system alerts, and centralized control consoles—help IT staff
significantly reduce the time and money
spent on network administration. Our
unmanaged version is for the user who
needs a simple network link and
doesn’t need to worry about management—a smaller worksite with limited
network resources, for example.
