Gigabit Ethernet Interface Card
AT-2916T-xxx
10/100/1000T 32-bit Gigabit Ethernet
interface card
High Performance
An entry-level 32-bit Gigabit interface card with
9KB of jumbo frames support, Allied Telesis’
AT-2916T supports the calculation of TCP,
UDP, and IP checksums through the hardware
platform without time loss by the MAC
controller for both transmission and receiving
paths—a capability that leads to improvements
on overall system performance. In order to
reduce the load on the CPU, Allied Telesis’
AT-2916T uses interrupt moderation to group
the huge amounts of interrupts caused by small
packets transferred at Gigabit speed enabling
the handling of several data packets per
interrupt.
High Reliability
The AT-2916T Gigabit Ethernet interface card
comes with a variety of reliability features
aimed at maintaining the longest-possible
connection through link aggregation, redundant
switch failover, and PCI hot plug.The on-board
sensors and driver functions monitor the health
of interface cards and their ports enabling pro-
active network management.
Comprehensive Software Support
AT-2916T interface cards feature a set of
software programs that assist users with their
network setups and configurations.The offline
user diagnostics program provides system
administrators and engineers with a tool to
analyze Network Interface Cards and check
specific data.The Network Control program for
Windows 2K and Windows XP enables users
to easily control and configure all their
AT-2916T interface cards.
Virtual Cable Tester™ (VCT)
The VCT program detects and reports potential
cabling issues such as cable opens, cable shorts,
or any impedance mismatches in the cable. It
can also accurately locate the distance to the
cabling fault within a tolerance of one meter,
enabling IT staffs to quickly identify failing
mechanisms and isolate the source of problems.
