Best Value

Allied Telesyn’s AT-2500TX PCI adapter is a
best-value solution to today’s 10/100Mbps LAN
access requirements. By providing a single
10/100Mbps auto-sensing port, network admin­istrators don’t need to worr y about swapping
out network cards. PCs can be quickly and
cost-effectively deployed and re-deployed,
connecting to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps
devices on the network.

Performance

Allied Telesyn’s PCI bus adapter cards are
designed to get the maximum performance
from your PC. By sending most of the Fast
Ethernet networking functions to the adapter
card, the computer’s CPU is free to run applica­tions faster. The card also operates in both
full- and half-duplex modes, allowing users to
double network performance.

Standar

The AT-2500TX adapter is available in both the
traditional 4.2” PCI slot and the new low-profile

2.5” slot. All major PC manufacturers are adopting
the low-profile designs in order to offer smaller
desktop systems with improved expansion capa­bilities over previous-generation systems.
